Art & Inspiration The run to Northwest Deuce Days and Beyond!!

We did some traveling, and boy was it hot!!

 

Fuzzy: thanks you very much for the road shots, I love them, particularly through your windshield.

 

Fuzzy JF is a good buddy of a friend of mine and his shop is in my old home town of Osoyoos as you found out. We moved from Osoyoos in 1982 and needless to say the town is a little different then it is now! JF does beautiful work! Did you see the riviera that he won with? Amazing design and fab work!

 

I see it stuck emojis where the town name of osoyoos should be! Stupid computer stuff!

 

Fuzzy your in my town tonight. A little warm.... I made that trip down the rivers from Penticton to Wenatchee a couple of years ago in July. I was cooked through and through by the time I got home. So hot I put the top up but it is blue and didn't offer much relief. The trip over the mountains to Puyallup should be a little cooler. I 90 can be rough in places but Blewitt pass is pretty smooth. I will be leaving for the coast in the morning.. Have fun!

 

Hey we are at the Comfort Inn. !! We will see you in Puyallup

 

Yep, see you there! I would have gone out looking for you guys tonight but I had some chores to do (while it was cooler) before I leave town.

 

Here in no particular order is our run from Canada to the Goodguys in Puyallup Wa.

 

The best Pic of all!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I'm logged in on FB and the links don't work.

 

and I just thought it was because I'm not a FB member!

 

Yesterday was a good run home. 1231 miles in 26 hours with a 5 hour nap in the middle.
Total mileage was Just a touch over 3700. Not toooo bad for an old fart.

 

Sorry guys don't know what else to do.

 

Post the pic or pic's the traditional way............................smiley face....................

 

Now i gotta throw some praise at 2 of our guys. Bill Story and Jim Sheridan drove their Roadsters with NO tops through the Hot Hot Sunny days. Better men than me. Oh by the way both are fried!!!

 

I met a guy and his son from Canada who had driven their T bucket with no top down to Tulsa for the 1973 Street Rod Nationals who got fried on the way down and had gone out and bought motorcycle helmets with face shields to use on the way back. They were laughing when they showed me the helmets but figured it was the way to help cut down on sunburn and wind burn.

 

Last Sat. my son(54) and his wife borrowed my roadster to take a run with friends in a motorcycle club ( christian and charity oriented) charity run to Fort Valley, GA which is about 60 miles away and the epicenter of what's left of the peach orchards in GA.
They went to a restaurant near there operated by Lane Farms, about the largest peach farmer still in the business. The restaurant has great food and during the peach season (now), about the most wonderful fresh peach ice cream in the world.
After their return, he told me that he now understood why I had little to no interest in long distance trips in BGII. They were about cooked, as the temp was 100+ all the way there and back, plus he said that he had to watch and pay close attention every second, and he was exhausted from driving there and back.
I'll be sure to tell him about you guys and your 3700 mile tour with 2 0f the 3 roadsters topless!

 

Going through the San Jaquine valley last night it was still 90 degrees at 2 AM!!!!

 

I would love to but these were taken with my phone so after that I am lost.

 

Here's a pic I took of Fuzzy's roadster at Deuce Days. Lookin' good!

 

Wow neat pic. Thanks

 

I think his fb links only work for his friend list.

 

I think the addition of a skid plate under my transmission was a good idea. This was new 2 weeks before I left for Canada.

 

I figured it out. Check back for new pics on my posts!!

 

Here is the pic I took, with long distance traveller in the background!

 

Looks pretty good for a rattle can paint job!!!!

 

Nice pic- Thank you!!

 

You guys are "Road Warriors" .... I tip my hat to you.

 

Let me know when you get back. We have a lot in common. I also used to be a Ford man, but later changed to Chevy. I live in Bonita, Ca so we are close. Signed up for this forum because of our names among other things. I am in the process of putting a LS motor and auto o'drive in my 69 Chevy C20 pick-up. Should be near complete by the time you get back but I have had some set-backs along the way so who knows.
