Crazy Swedes on roadtrip stuck in Phoenix voltage problems! Need parts!!!

Update! We arrived yesterday evning, went to sleep in our motel, picked up the car this morning, went down to fix new title, insurance, went to walmart to buy some beer and a toolbox, started our trip but didnt come so far-we didnt have a multimeter so we dont know the problem yet, probably its the voltage regular or alternator so we have to check that tomorrow so maybe we will need some help findning a new alternator or voltage regulator if someone could help us, were still here in phoenix (glendale). Hey guys Everything started when I found a baby Lincoln 2dr from -49 on ebay, he was asking too much but after a few weeks I receved a mail and he told me that we had a deal. So I took contact with a swede that lives in Phoenix, 20 minutes from where the car was so he made the deal for me and now its standing in his shop and waiting for us to come over on wednesday and pick it up.

Our plans:
Go up to Grand Canyon (have to see it) after that we are going to Viva las vegas and after a few days of casino We are planning to go to San diego, after that up to LA, drive half of the highway 1 to leave the car before we take a rental car to SF

Soo, the reason I wrote this is that we would like to know if you have any places we have to see? All we have planned yet is NHRA museum in LA, maybe Universal studios. And the moon speedshop in LA so we need some advice

Also I will be writing here and see if anyone can help us out if something gets brokend on the trip.

Thanx guys!

What a cool car!!
Buy as much parts for the car as you can store in it!! So scrap yards is on the cards for you I think

 

Yeah probably we will go check out some junkyards but dont think I need or going to find any parts for this beauty, I dont think you see this car so often in the US, but it would be nice visit any swap meet to see if I can find any cool stuff for this one or my cad I have back home.

Is there no place we MUST GO??

 

Nice car! I think this junkyard is located in the area. http://www.dvap.com/

 

Skip Vegas

Save $$$$$

Visit Death Valley or Moab instead

Sounds like a cool trip...keep us posted. I don't have a ton of advise as I'm from the mid west. Well the advise I have is stay away from the mid-west we're about to get 6-8" of snow!

 

When in the L.A. area, be sure to see the Peterson Museum and the Nethercutt Museum in Sylmar. Look them up in advance on your computer. If you can get up early on a Saturday morning, go to Donut Derelicts in Orange County. If you're around Burbank on a Friday afternoon late, go to Bob's Big Boy (restaurant.) If the Pomona Swap Meet or the Long Beach Swap Meet is going while you're here, be sure to go there. When in Las Vegas, go to the big car museum in the Imperial Palace Hotel .... and Count's Kustoms.

 

Look up So Cal Car Culture on your computer for a fairly complete list of car shows - but be aware, many of the listings (particularly for cruise nights) are for fairly small events.

 

I think VLV is overrated, however visit Las Vegas Speedway for a couple of Nascar ridealong laps. www.drivepetty.com. Ha så jävla kul!!

PS a visit to www.oldcrowspeedshop.com is a must. Call them first.

 

The Justice Brother museum / headquarters in Duarte is a quick free look at many vintage race cars.

This is a good one for the last day if you have a later flight out of LAX and need to kill some time close by.

Thats your opinion. Have you ever attended the entire event?

 

Safe travels. See you at VLV

 

Hello Tom.Sweden, Your 49 baby lincoln looks to be a real nice find. Viva is a must go to if you are in the area so do not miss it. We have some old friends from Sweden who come every years to vist our shop and Viva. They will be here Monday for the next 2 weeks so if you have the time come by the shop. Not sure if i will personally make it to Viva but if you see my gold shop truck there i did so come by and say hi. GB, Erickson / Extreme Kustoms 951 678-3520

 

VLV is a ton of fun and good start. The week after VLV is GOODGUYS in San Diego, that show is huge and right by the beach=lots of good cruising. That same week is also a good night for Cruising Grand in Escondido, its on Friday. Last year it seemed like a good number of the cars in town for Goodguys went out to Grand and cruised.

Kennedy Brother's, SoCal Speed Shop, and Bobby Waldons. All within ten minutes of each other, and all worth a stop at if you are near the NHRA Museum..

Make it to the Lonestar Round up! It's only a 2 day drive!

 

If you're going to the Grand Canyon, you'll be headed west on Interstate 40 when you leave. If you'd like to travel on Route 66, the longest unbroken stretch is a cool trip. Start at Seligman and drive to Kingman. There you can decide if you want to head for Vegas or Los Angeles. If you continue towards LA, I am 20 miles south of I-40 at Exit 9 in Lake Havasu City, which is home to the London Bridge and tons of old cars.

 

And I forgot to mention Spring Break. Why waste your money in strip clubs when you can see it all right here in "The Channel"? You can also bring your own 30 pack of PBR while you sit and watch the action.

 

Beer and bergers on me in kingman.

 

If in San Diego You must visit Ocean Beach, Some really nice bars along Newport ave.
There are good motels a little north in Mission or Pacific Beach, which also are good for partying.... Garnet street for instance.

Ha de gött!

Tommy.

 

Thanx alot again man, as always your THE BEST, I will be bringing my computer so I can keep you some updates about the trip, now I only need to decide what to visit with my friends that comes with me. But as I said, Ill keep you updated if your interested!

For the swedes, Kul att ni hjälper till

 

You will have a excellent time at Viva. I will keep a look out for you.
If you are in Vegas during the week send me a PM. I will help show you around or get you into a private collection.

 

Hi Sweden.Enjoy your vacation in the states.Great score on the Lincoln.
Good luck.Have fun.Be safe.
Leo

 

Pick up the beautiful Lincoln and send it home before heading to Vegas.

 

In Burbank, Hollywood Hot rods and Old Crow are almost next door to each other, then a few miles away is Toluca Lake Bobs practically the birthplace of cruising...almost. Tommy Ivo lives a few blocks from Bobs. Then visit the sites of famous Valley Custom and SoCal Speedshop, all within a few miles of each other in Burbank.
