We made a trip north of Green Bay a couple of months ago. We hit 39 in Bloomington and stayed away from Chicago and Milwaukee...it seemed like pretty easy driving. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

Should have went 26 miles to the west of Rockford and see if the 69 Fathom Green Yenko Camaro was still around. Also some other nice Nova's 69/70 (BBC) are still in that area along with the WildFire Camaro that is said to be undergoing a resto, back to the yellow with blue flames.

Rob, If you go thru Indy and north on 31, you'll go right thru South Bend. If you were to get here a day early Terry and I could help you make your Yenko a little....... "more stock". [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif[/img]

Rob, No B/S this time. I checked on your pump & bracket last night. I'll be delivering it to Martin myself, unless it jumps of the truck and and can find its way to Missouri sooner.

As for your trip route, I'd go I-55 north to I-80 east, staying south of Chi-town then following I-94 east all the way to Kalamazoo, then US 131 North to Martin.

You don't get into Chicago proper this way, you stay south of town. It doesn't guarantee you won't have any traffic grief, just be sure NOT to take I-94 NORTH into town [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif[/img]. Besides, you'll look like another Semi and the cars will try to stay away from you.

US 31 north of Indy to South bend is a 4-lane money machine for the state, plus there are way too many stop lights, both on US31 in Indiana and US131 in Michigan. John
