Will do!

I doubt I get as far south as you this year though. I'd like to get to Austin for the rod show there some day. My car would not fit in there so IDK if I will or not. |
I like your plans! I bet we both burn up a lot of gas this summer!

Build it right, build it reliable and there is no reason to keep it locked up at home never to see the road between lawn chair shows. Roadkill has made me more likely to drive some of the stuff I have further than I normally would before being finished as well haha.
The wrap is killer! A little brighter than I would go but the grey really brings it back in to the perfect balance or colors.

I would really like a diesel power plant, but that is not in the budget right now. As far as Roadkill goes, I'm a huge fan, I really dig that show. However you and I do not have a camera crew chase car following us around... Notice a lot of their stuff barely makes half of their trips, and some have left them stranded only a couple of miles out of the gate. Either way it is a super fun show and David and Mike are the perfect hosts.
I think it would be super fun to take a bunch of my car/truck nut friends and go find a hulk somewhere and do the very same thing. Hmmm I know where a couple 50's Chevy trucks are sitting right now... That gives me an idea...

Yeah I've been thinking about getting an overdrive or maybe finding a 4L80 or 85E and making life a lot easier. Your right 3K at 65 is no good! Rather buzzy and hard to hold a conversation! Or maybe we should just do that trip a bit slower and save our pennies...
