    Guys made it to Indy at 6:45EST tonight. We have been celebrating Road Rocket style and just now getting home to post.
    The guys have been talking non-stop about their trip for the last 4.5 hours.
    There will be tons of pictures that I expect will go on the Road Rockets website sometime next week.

    More to come later.

    Glad they got home and thanks to all the HAMB helpers out there! As gay as it may sound, journals are a good thing on a trip like that. Also, I'd like to reference this story every time someone knocks a person for installing a Small chevy in their car. :D

    can you imagine the hell they'd have if it was a flathead or a 371 olds?

    I hear ya there! I'm just glad I didn't have any troubles with the Desoto. It still has the original 291 Hemi in it with over a 100,000 miles, not a single problem making it across the country. Hell, we all thought it would've been the other way around.
    But really, this is the first chance I had to get on here and see all the help everyone has offered. Mike and I both can't say thank you enough. We went hitting all the cruise-ins last night and the cars are still running good. Metalman, you are one hell of a guy and we had a blast being around you and your engine guy (Todd Budlong)... many thanks to him as well. I'm trying to make this short and sweet without getting too sappy. I'll be puting up a separate thread on the trip with many pics and a couple videos.
    Thanks again.
    And yes, looking back I should have had journal, but its not too late :D

    These guys are the best. What comes around goes around. They stopped to help us when we had a blow out. I am glad to hear you made it home safely. Hopefully we can do it again next year. We will meet you along the way.

    Wow, I hadn't checked for a few days. Glad the boys got it all together and made it home.

    They'll have stories for years.
