  5. What happened to the surf boards? You may need em' going through New Orleans. Make sure you stop and see "The Thing" along I-10. I think it's in Arizona. Also P.I.M.A Air Force Museum, outside of Phoenix is WELL worth the trip! If you make it as far as Orlando, I have a small shop and reliable flatbed driver on call. Good luck."we'll be pullin for ya, we're all in this thing together"

  7. One of two things will happen:
    1st) So much shit will break that you will have no choice to fix it. You will get a chance to get to "know" your new ride. Become one with it.(pretty heavy huh?) or
    2nd) You will be so pissed off about number 1 that you will sell it on Ebay to the next guy when you get back.
    The choice is up to you. Go for it!

    Well.. I left Cali yesterday and I've made it to Tucson, AZ- headed for El Paso. The car has progressive linkage, does anyone know if I can slide back the adjustment & run on just one carb??(8 gallon tank's only gettin me 130 miles) This is if the fumes don't kill me first..
    Thanks R

  22. Damn, this thread is bad-ass. Some of the other forums I belong to are full of holier-than-thou jackasses who wouldn't offer a wrech either because they're dicks, or they don't actually have the skills they claim to.
    This is what's it's all about. Congratulations on making the trip.

Cheers to you.
