The Ford Barn

I'm hoping to have my '36 sedan roadworthy by the summer. I've built it to be a driver and tried to make it as reliable as possible. I was curious if the Ford Barn community had an tips for touring or long-distance driving. Is there anything special to be aware of with these old cars? I'm sure a little common sense goes a looooong way. I plan on keeping a tool box in the trunk with some spare parts like points, a condenser and a couple spark plugs, oh, and of course extra oil as well. Any other suggestions for a flathead V8 road trip?

Old Henry, you're an expert in this area! You'd probably drive to Jupiter and back if a two-track went there and you could get fuel along the way.

Thanks!
