Thanks,
Do you carry tire chains?

Inspirational, thank you! So good to see a vintage car used as intended, rather than be a static, spotless Garage Queen

After some consideration, I decided to leave the dent as a souvenir of Pike' Peak and conversation starter at car shows.

I used tire chains when I drove this car in high school but haven't since. If I get to the point I can't go forward any further I give it up, turn around, and go back. That has only happened once that I remember. The old stock BF Goodrich Silvertown bias ply tires actually do pretty good in the snow.

Here's A video of the worst snowy driving conditions I've ever encountered:

Hi Craig. Thanks for the ride, I've viewed it twice.
Henry's LR fender is looking swell. Their is a guy who can heat and beat the bumper back as well.
BTW I have run tractor trailer up over Monarch, it is a slug with tonnage.
Someday I want to take my wife up Pikes
