Driving to KKOA show From Sac Ca (With pictures)

So I have been planing to go to the KKOA show for about two weeks. Just like me I waited to the last second to get my plane ticket. It went up over $200 in the last week to over $650. And I hate planes anyway.

I so called my friend Phill this morning to see if he wanted to drive to Kansas with me in my 50 chevy. Always down for a road trip Phill said yes. My goal is to meet up with a few more cars along the way. We are planning to leave Reno Tuesday morning and get to Salt Lake City that night. Wednesday leave Salt Lake City and drive to Denver. Thursday go from Denver and go to Mcphail's shop in Kansas that night and meet up with some more cars and drive up to Salina with them.

Let me know if anybody is down to drive part of the way togther.

also I need a couple parts to cut down on the rattels on my car. If any body around Sac has a good driver door stiker or hood springs for my 50 Chevy. let me know Thanks Scott

 

cool man, glad you decided to come. Have a safe drive see you in salina

 

Thats awesome.. IN a 1950 Pick Up, brutal.. You Sir, are my hero..

 

It's a choped 50 chevy coupe. But thanks

 

Kool scott, see you here. Jeff

 

#### You will have more fun driving instead of flying !! And I promise you'll have way cool stories to tell about your trip !!! >>>>.

 

We will be leaving from Denver on Thursday morn...usually about 6 AM cuz none of us have A/C in the car (once past Goodland, KS, it gets warmish ...and we usually meet some Lonely Knights, or others, in Limon, CO, 80 miles east of Denver...

Shoot me a PM and I'll give you my phone number, you can call me when you get into Denver.

--- You will see a bunch of customs going to Salina from Denver and Colorado Springs.Make sure you stop at the huge OAISIS truck stop on I-70 at Colby Kansas.It is a great place to rest up,good food ,Air conditioning and you will most likely hook up with other cars there going to Salina.We are leaving Denver around 7o Am.Let me know when you plan on heading out, maybe we can hook up.

 

Sounds good. We have no AC also. How hot is it going to be out there? It has to be cooler than Sac it's been over 100 here. I will Pm both you guys my number also. Thanks see you guys on the road. Scott

 

Temp can be anywhere from 85 to 105. Humidity ain't too bad in Salina usually.

I'm in Ellis Ks if any of you guys break down(hopefully you won't)

I am heading down Friday morning.

 

hey scott, I thought your car only drove on and off a trailer..........

 

OUCH! I hope you guys are friends,LOL.

 

Ouch. But I all ready drove that thing to four shows in So Cal this year. Thats why it still looks the same since Pomona. Because I have not wanted to pull it off the road to finish it. So no side glass or rear wheel wells and I'm driving to Kansas. See you there

 

Blue Collar, you are a Hell of a man! see ya in Salina!

 

See you down there good luck on the drive!

That means between the both of us we are almost driving across the whole country. We are leaving Monday also. Thats Kool see you there. Scott

 

Man... You guys are lucky. I live in Kansas but my parents dont want to go because its a 4 hour drive and something might happen to one of the rides.... And heck. Look at what you are driving blue collar. (Not saying its a bad car!) Dang. This looks like a wicked carshow..

 

Just got done with doing a bolt check and changing my oil. I'm glad I did one of my front shock mounts had ripped off. It must have happened coming back from Alex's show last week end. Also I want to thank Bryan Rusk for hooking me up with some hood springs and loaning me the door stiker off his car until I get back. It cut the rattels down so much, it's like a new car.

 

Verbal Kint and I will be leaving from Montana on Thursday evening. Should hook up with some one along the way.

 

Yep, I'd be down for traveling together....how about Wichita to Salina.

You gonna where your nametag so he knows its you???

Who you trying to kid??? Two years ago Salina had the worst humidity I've ever experienced, ever.

You got that right sweetie, I'll see ya there. Travel safe.

I said usually, not always!

 

Hey BlueCollar, Hope your trip is as smooth as a California Kustom. Awesome that you and a buddy are driving out. The airplane thing wouldn't have worked out anyway. Don't you know we are "fly over country" around here? The airplanes just leave contrails as they go coast to coast.

See you in Salina! I'm in a red/white 54. I also second your props to Bryan Rusk. He helped me out several years ago over on ChevyTalk.com with some small, but needed, parts.

Hell drive a daily driver if you have to, just make it up here! And from Ark City it's barely over 2 hours away! Drive up 77 to 54, shoot over to old 81 highway and head north!

 

Last year wasnt that bad It was my first time I had imagined it being worse. This year will probably be nasty?

Thats a good one Holmes! Cya at the shop arent we going to see some real country wed nite in Witchita?
