    Lol, I just now saw these last two comments. Never apologize for hijacking my thread. It’s all part of the fun!

    I just rolled over 10,000 miles on my T-Bucket. I’ve been having a blast with this thing. Next month I’m going to drive it up for the last two days of the Hot Rod Power Tour. Starting from my house in Florida, up to Montgomery, Alabama, then to Pensacola, then to Atlanta, then back home. Is anyone else going on the Power Tour?

    10,000 miles and having a blast?
    Good one you!
    That's what rodding is all about.

    Get your rod out and play with it!

    Glad to hear you driving the crap out of it. You put 10k on in a hurry! Right now I'm pretty close to you with Rita but still about 5 hours away in Panama City. Ours reads a bit over 17k on the way down here and will add about 1400 or or so by the time we get back. I would love to hit the power tour for a stretch but a little closer to Iowa. Your pretty lucky to have it stop in your home town

    Sounds like you built a good one. Nice accomplishment! Not very many hot rods, IMO, pro or home built are as usable.

    I love to see a great paint job, killer engine or interior just as much as everyone else, but the rods that get actually driven are much cooler!

    Congrats! Have fun on the Power Tour! Just make sure you don't have an overheating problem. Traffic on the PT can be brutal.

    My car is no trailer queen. Yesterday I hauled away the yard waste, then made a Home Depot run, and then drove home in the pouring rain, lol.

    That is awesome, love it. I got some stern warnings and funny comments using my v8 Miata to haul 16 ft lumber in my trailer but yours is even nuttier.

    I won’t haul anything of significant weight, and I don’t take the trailer up to freeway speeds, but it pulls very nicely around town, and it stops fine.
