$1700 in fuel. Wow!

Glad to hear you made it home safely! That was quite a trek.

"A 283 with two fours, etc." This abomination is no longer as '32 Ford!

My Fathers 46 1 1/2 ton truck got sold to a person moving an airplane from NY to California, 4 days after he picked it up we got a call from California, he had made it no problems, 15 mpg, 2 quarts of oil, not bad for a 49 merc engine with just a re-ring job.

We drove 70 MPH most of the time, except for potty stops. Not too many white knuckle moments. lol
I guess Lawson is ashamed to know me, but the "Buddy" is me. My 39 standard coupe, Dearborn winner was the other car.
