Customs How's this for a Contrast ?????

One month ago today Maggie & I took this picture at the Artic Circle on the Dalton Highway in northern Alaska. It was cold and raining and the road was a mess as you can see by the condition of the car but we had done it, we had driven our custom from Wisconsin to the Artic Circle.




The contrast is today. This picture was taken about an hour ago and it is bright and sunny out, the temprature is in the mid 90's the car is relatively clean even though it has put on almost 12,000 miles since June 19th.
What a difference a month makes.




What a difference a month makes. I didn't know whether I was gonna be able to make this trip from Wisconsin after getting back from our Alaska Adventure or not but a couple of nights work and a tire and wheel change did the trick and the old girl has made her 10 trip to Bonneville.

Wow, 12000 miles in a month in the car with the wife and your still on speaking terms....THAT IS IMPRESSIVE!!

The "Yin and The Yang" of it. What a summer you've had so far.

 

Awesome! Is it worth it to go to speed week for only 1 day? Thinking of checking things out there on Tuesday. I loved your Alaska trip.

 

If you are that close and miss it you ain't got a hair on your ***.

DO IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man...takes a licking and keeps on ticking. Epic!

 

Nice photoshop, BB

 

Hey there all you HAMBERS who get your car out a few times during the summer to go to a local cruise and think you're really doing something..................PAY ATTENTION here!! Here's proof these cars can be driven HARD and have fun with and still be attention getters! You won't die if it gets dirty or breaks, just fix it and move on! Bob K is living my dream!

 

You rock!!! Those are some great road trips.

 

You young dudes have all the fun!!-MIKE

 

that's an INCREDIBLE journey I hope that one day I'll be able to do the same one day!
your living the dream very cool

 

Bob, Congrats on another chapter with Maggi and the Chevy. One of these days you should take a compression check on the 292. I'm thinking you musty have the rings seated by now.
