What do you do when your roadster is 98% finished and has all of about 12 miles on it? Break it in on the NorCal Reliability Run!
An anual event put on by Redbeard this one started in Healdsburg, CA on July 15.

When I opened this thread I was trying to figure out what you were talking about 'Breaking in Deuce Roadster"

My confusion is that my pal Randy is Deuce Roadster here on the Hamb.

That was great fun looking at all these fabulous pictures. Thanks for sharing, looks like a blast!

 

Looks like too much fun.............thanks for the pix and enjoy your new ride.

 

Damnit i really wanted to do this this year with my dad. we missed it last year too. Or are Studebaker roadsters not allowed and its a "Ford" thing.
Shit i guess i need to pay more attention.

 

Wow, looks like a really fun run!
Pictures are awesome.

 

Born and raised in that area of No.Cal. Looks like a great day with cool cars and good people. Thanks for the pics.
