Event Coverage LA Roadster Show with my Dad in a '40 Coupe

Coming up to Eisenhower Tunnel....











Video coming!

We just stopped to check everything out, added a little oil, the oil pan is leaking up front. I swapped out the breather, the chrome one is loose and is likely to become roadkill.

Burr, it's cold up here...37!

My toes are cold.





Opps, that didn't work..

Yup I can hear the stories now...I had to change a clutch and didnt have a jack stand so I held the car up with my knee.....

 

Livin' the dream!

 

Did this trip last year with the family. Worked late into the night the night before we left. Daja vu!

Neat that you are doing it with your dad.

 

Cooling off in Green River with Jamoca Shakes!



The cars running 180, 60-62psi oil pressure. Feels 90-95 in the sun.

This is just awesome - I went across country with my Dad in 2000, towing my 40 coupe for hte "40 Ford is 60 Tour" out in Calif - we had a blast! After reading your posts I'm itchng to do it again but drive one this time!

 

Those of us with smart-phones should do these play-by-play threads more often.

 

Excellent adventure! See you there.

 

The scenery is amazing!









Making new friends...
