    Great road trip pics. Being able to repair the car on the highway is an art, now try that on any of todays new cars.

    my buddy BOBBY once told me, and I QUOTE:

    and if you drop a rod doing it? haha... I think that's the point... getting out and DOING IT, dropping a rod is part of the experience.

    I love this story.

    A Flathead, an old HEMI, a Stovebolt, and what ever the '56 is running. Not bad odds 1 out of 4, so much for "you GOT TO HAVE a 350/350 to make it anywhere".
    You called it right when you said it was your Adventure, man what a cool story and the pictures are super. THANX

    IM in, Tuck says were going so were going!!! cant ****in wait!!!

    If i build it, i will drive it anywhere.... period... nothing will stop me from trying. thats what its all about.. its not about the show or the cars at the show, its the adventure getting there and the people. I have great friends.

    The thing I was the happiest about on this trip was how calm and cool we all stayed. we made the best of every situation. a couple years ago if i would have blown up my car, I would have probably kicked a dent in the side of it and thrown a fit. not this year, i stayed cool, I laughed about it. there was nothing i can do. I can finally tell ive gotten older. Ive got more character now!!!
