Enjoy the trip and take lots of pics for us! Keep the dirty side down and the clean side up.
Thanks, I plan to keep you all up to date on the way, right here.

Thanks.. hope to see a story and photos from your trip!! On your way back, you should head north and stop on the Bonneville Salt. Jim Lange is supposed to be there with his Avanti, as will David Livesay.
That'll be a few miles out of the way this trip. I hope to use Ms Word to keep tabs on trip and send it and pics to you along the way. Will that work?

Rick Moon and I will depart Lafayette Aug 5 for a trip to San Diego, CA to meet his son, Jesse, as he finishes his tour in the Navy on the 9th. We'll be driving Rick's '63 Avanti, with a Jim Lange engine. Jesse will lead us back up Route 66 in his '53 Champ coupe. We'll be glad to stop and see friends and make new ones along the way. We'll be near St Louis, Tulsa, OK City, Amarillo, etc, and all points in between on the 5th, 6th, and 7th. We'll have some of Rick's well known posters with us to sell. If you are interested I will post my cell # on here and let you know when we leave. Lou.......hope to write up a nice story and pics along the way.
Of course, no air!!Later........Mick Hardy
Road trip UPDATE

Well, we made it to San Diego, but not in Rick's Avanti. We ended up bringing my Yukon due to the Avanti having carburator problems....(and my back problem) We met Jesse at the Navy base on Friday and went to pick up a new head for his '53 that Phil Harris overnighted to him. He and Rick worked at putting it on yesterday as I toured SD with some family. Turns out the holes for cooling water and temp sensor are not the same size, so this morning Jesse is going to find some reducers, and hopefully, this will fix that problem. We will follow Jesse back to Indiana and it's slow going in the mountains! IF he gets it fixed this morning, we'll get outta here today!
