The Ford Barn

Cecil/WV · 04-13-2014, 06:59 AM

I am leaving this morning on what should be the finish in my quest to drive my '50 Ford in all lower 48 states. We are heading to Fl via Al, Ms and La into the Fl panhandle and will return via I-95, I-26, I-77 and I-81. Plan to see Vic while in Fl and maybe all those women that have been riding with JM.

Good luck on the trip.

Sounds like an adventure. Good luck!

Cecil, have a great trip and be safe! If you get anywhere close to me look me up, we'll have lunch.

I hope you are taking your V8 club roster with you in case of any trouble. Have a safe and fun trip. Pictures would be nice. Lawson

Cecil, based on that Utah picture you posted, it looks like you took the long way to get to Florida

. Make sure Vic signs you off on your award for completing the last State of the 48 when you get to Florida

Cecil, If you get down near Punta Gorda give me a call. 1-941-637-1813 night or early morning. Skip at the shop 1-941-637-6698 Mornings. I'll show you how the fuel return line works. G.M.

Vic Piano · 04-15-2014, 07:14 AM

Cecil, I'm looking forward to seeing you again. Have a safe and enjoyable trip.

Old Redneck · 04-15-2014, 07:26 AM

Cecil Florida is south. Just kidding but could not resist saying that. Have a great trip. Plan on driving the Studebaker on the Glidden Tour this fall if all goes well. Will watch to see how you ar doing on your trip. I can come and get you if you need me.

TonyM · 04-15-2014, 07:26 AM

Good Luck.

Brendan · 04-15-2014, 08:24 AM

looks like fun!

Kens 36 · 04-15-2014, 12:51 PM

Cecil,

Good luck on your trip! What's next, Alaska? Juneau is less than 3,600 from your front door.

Chris Nelson · 04-15-2014, 03:16 PM

Ken; To my knowledge, you can't drive to Juneau, Alaska. Boat or plane is the only way.

Kens 36 · 04-15-2014, 03:30 PM

Oops. Shows how familiar I am with Alaska. Maybe we need to recommend Anchorage.

George. I would love to get down and see that and your collection but there aren't enough days available. Too much work to do at our property here in Floral City.

Never leave home without it. Lice after I get home. My circuitous route netted me 1600 miles and the oil dropped 1/8 " with over 20 mpg.

Cecil/WV · 04-17-2014, 07:31 PM

Supposed to say pics after I get home.

41panelmark · 04-18-2014, 10:07 PM

Have fun, take pics of the womens.
