In case anyone is interested we made it into Illinois about 4:30 yesterday afternoon. After driving across 6 states I have to say the drivers here are the worse I think I've seen.
Did a quick oil change and and good check over on the car this morning and other than picking up a couple of rattels (I'll worry about those latter) everything seems to be doing good.
We had a truely great time at Tulsa. Besides the cars the people were great. We had restores, hot rodders, and those in between really made it a great event. The Double Tree which is right across the street from the convention center has a 6 level indoor parking garage. The top 3 levels were where most of the cars were parked and those not staying in the garage could come and go too.
Some of those nasty old hot rodders actually brought BEER....can you believe that????? I was usually up there until aorund 1AM on the 3 nights we stayed there and it was still going strong when I left. Those Aussie boys can sure hold there own with some of the southern boys we had there.
Here's a few more from the event.
First is a chopped 57. nasty 440 with a big cam and functional lake pipes....he liked to idle from top to bottom in the garage. Good background music.
hen there is the COE I really liked.
and the last belongs to the wife an old friend who I hadn't seen in 10 years. It's a 300F and this the front of the bug screen after it was driven from Minn.I've NEVER seen a car come from the factory that couldn't be improved.....
