    Ruler! That's a helluva road trip, especially this year, with all the snow and cold that we have had. I look forward to seeing your car on Friday when my father and I wander through.

    Well, I made it home last night. I am beat. Took a different route home, much better roads than 75 on the way up. The car got a few more chips on the way home, but oh well that's what happens when you drive them! I'll post my pics from the road and the show soon.

    Thanks to everybody that stopped by to say hi. Met a lot of new folks, and saw lots of old friends. That's what this is all about.

    Early Wednesday morning rolling thru Kentucky, it was a little foggy and cold.

    Stopping in Ohio, I had to snap a few pics by some snow piles. Not many opportunities to do that in Florida

    For the trip I figured it was a good idea to install a heater. The problem was, with the nice aluminum radiator the car has for the Florida summers, it runs way to cold in the cold weather. I made up a piece to block the air flow into the radiator. It's just thin plexi with a few holes drilled in it. I made it easy to put in and remove on the road with a few zip ties. It brought the temps up and had the heater working great.

    I finally made it into Detroit around 4:30 Wednesday. I went and checked into the hotel and then brought the car to Cobo Hall. It was filthy when I got there.

    I traveled up alone because the guys I was going to ride with didn't have the car done in time. They were about six hours behind me. It paid off for them though, they got in the Great 8. I know it's o/t for here, and I'll take the picture down if needed.

    Hey Mike,
    Glad you had a great safe trip. I meant to tell you to make sure you had a 180 or a 195 degree
    thermostat to get enough heat out of the heater. I'll see you at Billetproof this weekend. Keith
