hey guys just have a question about how well the c4's handle cold temps.i am storing my vette in my back yard under an all weather tarp.i would like to move it into my garage to repair the overdrive on the 4+3.to get it from my yard to my garage it has to be moved across very uneven ground.now here is the question.my car is an 84 z51 will the cold temps we are getting do any damage to the fiberglass when i drive it over uneven ground?i am worried about body flex with the cold temps.i don't want it to crack.
it just has me alittle worried as i hear creeks and groans from my other cars going down over that part of my driveway in these temps and they are steel body cars. i would hate to see cracks in the body from going over the knole in myyard to get to my garage.if i was driving down the road it wouldn't bother me abit as the roads around here are not in to bad a shape.
If concerned pop the hood latch and loosen the top bolts a little; I was told to do this when jacking only one corner.
But if you can drive it without botteming out it should be ok. Or you might wait till this cold front passes and temps climb above freezing.
if this cold goes away soon might just wait.but i see i have very little to worry about anyway.thanks guys for putting up with a long question.i still have a few things to learn about these cars.i only asked about the cold because of all the stories that i've heard over the years about cold temps and fiberglass.guess i shouldn't eleive everything i hear thanks again
