    @timwhit , that's sounds great :)
    @toucan the shipping worked out without a scratch but the left rear tire hit the quarter bead and made a scratch when I was hitting a pot yesterday. I now adjusted the shocks so it won't happen again.
    @FinnishFireball , went to Kennedy Space Center yesterday morning and headed west passing Orlando were we had to mess with the airport about some missing bags and when we passed Ocala the time was 8.00 pm and the museum was closed :(

  16. I was thinking the same thing, might be an open top soon, enjoy your trip you lucky SOB.
     
  17. I had a '34 sedan that would do that in the heat of the day but relax back into shape at night! You guys have fun and be careful. Tim

    Great cars and photos, hope you all have a great time! Bob
     
  19. I can't tell from your map but when you go between Los Angeles and San Francisco it is best to take the inland route going north and the coast route going south. That will put you near the outside where the view is better and it is easier to stop at the turnouts to enjoy the view. Of course, driving on the cliff side may have it's disadvantages.

    @Charlie Stephens , we're going south on PCH after Pleasanton.

    Left Lake City FL yesterday morning and went to historic Andersonville and finally stayed at a nice hotel in Anniston/Alabama.

    image.jpg Today we started with a round trip to visit interior guy Paul Atkins and his crew and they did a great grilled burger lunch for us. Paul manage to take care of Ulf's Tudor roof in no time.

    After the visit we had another one at Alan Johnson in Gadsden. Very nice guys there who build top notch Hot Rods, Amazing !
