    1. Don't buy gas in Lee Vining- mega $$$$
    2. The exhibit at Manzanar outside of Independence is worth a stop but not exactly hot rod related.
    3. There's a pretty cool railroad museum in Bishop, again not hot rods but interesting never the less.

    395 is an interesting drive with lots to see just depends on how much time you have.

    Don't know about manazar, but the ghost town/state park of Bodie www.bodie.com, is definately worth a couple of hours (or half a day).

    There's a section of dirt road getting out there, but out V8-60 powered T-Bucket has made it.
