So I walk out to this.

Not good. Under this cover-it are 3 classic rides.

1. 1960 Ford Falcon

2. 1966 Ford F-150 Camper Special

3. 1967 18ft. Donzi speedboat

Not happy, can't even get a look to see how much damage there is.

Damn........

Hopefully things aren't too bad. Would love to have a look at that '66. Storage is always a problem. I'm lucky I have a 6000 sq/ft building to store cars as I hate having anything out in the elements, restored or not.

Good luck.

well I got back there but took no pics. I went in with a camera and a flashlight. If you look at the pic, on the far left is the boat. That lump you see is the bolster seats. The lump in the middle is the pick up. the main structure seems to be off to the left of it. The far right is the Falcon and the roof looks like a paper plate. I was shining the light into the falcon and realized that I was not alone in there and that there is in fact a rather large and not happy raccoon.

I ran like a little girl!

damn, sorry.

i dont know how many winters youve had the storage tent for, but wasnt that bound to happen??

storing it that way was a HUGE risk this winter. did you try to reinforce it? NY region recently broke historical records for snowfall. i wouldnt even let my family store my car in their garage last month b/c there was a full length balcony on top of it...cant imagine putting a classic outside in a tent.

Let me know if you find a set of 1962-1964 Kelsey-Hayes fifteen inch hi-po 406/427 steel wheels back there. I really need a set of five.

Terry, My major concern is the boat. You will love this. The Donzi is a 67 barrel back Boss 351 with original Hallman Moody custom exhaust.
