240 miles, and she drove and rode like a champ!! This is the first real trip I made in her since getting mechanically sound. I drove around a little bit and worked out the bugs on Thursday and friday, but no real freeway time or mileage. I was going to cancel the trip, but decided to enjoy the adventure... Not much of an adventure, but an awesome trip. I was motoring along the I-15 at 65-75, staying with traffic without so much as a hiccup. Strong 360 Mopar and 904 Trans. Nothing flew off and no leaks whatsoever- pretty stoked. Left East County early, saw Fuzzyknights ride while fueling up, Met up with Manuel in his 60 El Camino in North county , enjoyed the sunrise drive arrived at our destination and got in line for pre-registered vehicles by 8am. The ride home was pretty much the same except for the usual LA traffic insanity. All in all, great show, saw some friends and had a great drive. Proud of the old girl, she treated us right! Enjoy some pics.
Love the car and it must have been built right!!! Bet you were grinning from ear to ear in the ole girl....
Yeah, I was stressin. Almost made the trip alone, but a couple of good friends came along. I had my buddies trailer on speed dial- haha.
sweeet! what a great feeling when you build something and it actually works huh! gonna have good times with that ride, enjoy!
That's awesome first trip. Mine was the Sac Autorama a few years ago in my 49 Chevy and after I got over listening for every little noise and just enjoyed the drive it was pretty rad. For me, nothing beats the open road. Congrats.
