    Thanks for sharing the story and pictures. I've driven up and down the West coast several times, but it sure would've been a lot cooler in that car!

    What a cool adventure, man the dogs in the car shot made me howl with laughter. What a priceless tour for your Dad and a couple of buddies. The 40 Vert is amazing guys. Thanx for the warm fuzzy post. ~sololobo~

    That was my favorite car in the outdoor portion of the show. I really wanted to talk to your father about it, but he was never around when I was by the car.

    Your Dad's car was easily one of me and my brother's favorite cars at the show. We had a great time talking with your Dad about the car. Glad to hear he made it home safe.

    I'm sorry you missed him. I know he would be happy to talk to you about the car. He and my grandfather built it together. I can PM you his number if you wish.
     
  27. WOW, most rodders talk about doing cruises like this, but very few actually do it! Those pics are priceless!!:cool:
