Myself, Fireball350, Ratcamino, and one other will be drivin 560 miles one way to get there. Lookin forward to every mile!
I agree with the comments above. I would also stay away from humid or rainy weather. Windy days tend to stir up the dust as well. Good Luck!...

I like the new look! I see that you have your leaf springs moved inside the frame rails. Was it hard to move them in? Do you notice any...
I agree with 61TBird. Nothing cures a bad mood quicker than a good drive.
