WA to NYC and back

[Powderboy]

I decided to drive my old Chevrolet to NY and back. I thought you guys might like to see some of the pics so far. I'm full on winging it everyday. Tonight I'm just outside Cleveland heading back west. 4400 miles so far. I'm new at posting pics so hopefully this works.

In no particular order

Thanks guys. Raining in OH today so puts a damper on things. Gonna roll here shortly and head towards Chicago and see if I can out run the storm. A few more pics.

Did your hot rod make it all the way with no breakdowns? Looks like a great trip. You have planted the idea for an adventure of my own...

No breakdowns. Burned a plug wire that was too close to the exhaust early in the trip and it just ran rough for a bit until I figured out what the problem was. I had H20ske install a new GM performance parts 383 stroker and a 5sp for the trip so I did essentially have a new drive train. Touring the country in an old hot rod was a fun experience. Whatever idea your thinking of I say go for it. What type of car are you thinking of using if you don't mind if I ask?
