    That's bad ass! I've always wanted to haul an old camper behind my '65 Coupe DeVille (it's for sale, see sig) on a family vacation. Maybe someday I'll have an old ride cool enough for the HAMB that's able to tow a camper (hopefully it'll be old enough, too!!).

    Brian, It sounds like your cooling issues are fixed. Looks to me like you had an excellent weekend.

    How well does your wagon pull the trailer? Very cool set up!

    Wow! A hot rod, a vintage camper, a vintage wood boat and camping. Now that's paradise. What kind of camper and boat?

    Thanks guys! Yes, nothing but "traditional" camping for us. Yes, it is a Spartan trailer, a '46. No, I don't ski on vintage skis. Tried that, and discovered there's a very good reason we now make from composites and not planks of wood. The old ones hang on the wall in the garage. The roadster cooling is MUCH better with the aux. radiator mounted under the floor in the frame kickup, but I still need a fan back there. This weeks project. The wagon pulls the trailer like a train. I just bought a set of Auburn speedster rear fenders for the Diamond T, and will get started on the bed when they get here. It should be killer!

    We're taking a weeks vacation one week from now, going to the Tin Can Tourists fall outing in Milford at Camp Dearborn (missing the Nats North in the process), then a few days somewhere on Lake Huron in the thumb, then back for the Hot Rod show at the Gilmore museum with the whole mess.
