Did he make it all the way? I wonder how common it is to lose a front wheel bearing on a cross-country trip. Long trip, hot weather, probably one of the last things most would worry about. I lost one 4/5 of the way home and it cost $400 because of a $300 tow job. Thanks, Kurt
This is what Hot Rodding is about, I cant believe how fast he got help. Suepr cool car, SUPER awesome trip! Much props! Your balls have gotta be made of brass my friend
wish i would of look at this thread a couple of days ago--would of like seen the coupe in person--great story
I'll be happy to eat my words! Congratulations! Glad to hear you made it with a minimum of problems (I still wouldn't trust someone else's work enough to go cross country with it). Ahhh, to be young again! That car would have crippled me!
I'm glad to hear that you made it all the way home. It sounds like you really enjoyed the trip. Way to go.
Welcome home. Those of us that can't find the time to do what you did...were with you in spirit Panhead Guy
Guy, I saw that car at Mooneyes Xmas Party in '04 - I tlooked to me like it was a pretty good build. I wish you luck and hope you enjoy your adventure on the way to Florida. Please sure you document and share your adventure with the HAMB ! 41 Dave

That is so cool. You have some huge shittin kahuna's. Remember it's not the trip it's the adventure. Have fun!! Gary
I'm glad you made it...I have some pics of the LB tiki when it was being built if you ever want to see them. You have a very unique car...So piss on the haters. You have some serious huevos. I sat in that thing...It's no caddy.
I just read this thread, congratulations on the success of the voyage man I don't think I'd ever wash that trip off the car for anything, you get some massive headaches from breathing in them exhaust fumes? whats that rig got for seats in it?
