To start things off.....a "Old" friend of mine (Corky Fowler) that moved to the Phoenix area years ago called and asked if he could use one of the "Mutts" and go on the Power Tour this year (Of Course)He's driving the 66 Convert with the New engine and a new 700r4.....So he flew in to Milwaukee on Tuesday and spent some time visiting friends he hadn't seen in Twenty Years, and last night we had a Party at the house for the "Old" Street Rod guy's.....Spent the night talking about the "Old" days.........Cleaned up the mess and went to bed.........Got up this morning and left the house at 6:00 am (Corky left later in the day with Gary Lawler and a couple of other friends doing the Long Haul this year)......600 miles to Memphis .......Got in at 4:00 in the Afternoon.......Corky and Gary won't be here till tomorrow, but Charley and Jody will get here a little later today......."And" so it "Starts"........Travel Pic'sfor Today.........LOL

Scott had a few teething problems with his car.....No Tailpipes and the exhaust would eventually heat up the Gas to where there was a Vapor Lock Problem.......Went to a Parts Store and put some Turn Downs on the Mufflers .....Hope that solves the Problem.....Neat Car...LS Powered....500 H.P. and 22 MPG

Re: Power Tour 08

Wow nice car but is it my eyes or is that a survivor car it doesnt look like a restore to me? Looks like a less than shiny rear bumper.I don't have the best eyes so...... lol. Looks like you guys are having a blast! Stay safe.

Re: Power Tour 08

Cool looking car!, I knew it was something with a wing on it. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Power Tour 08

The Family Truckster may have been my favorite vehicle there. If you get a chance, look it over. Very nicely done, great attention to detail.

Here's a thread on the LS1 board about it:
