I took a little road trip out west.
Let's see..... drank a few Dew's, listened to a few CD's, & changed a trailer tire in the dark @ a rest-stop. Then we drove a 'little' more.... took the 'scenic' route through Tucson, hung out on the outskirts of some sort of indian reservation & made some new friends while..... changing another tire on opposite side of the trailer. I waited 2hrs w/my new friends in a dust-storm for my road-weary buddy (n2billet) to make his way back so we could install the 2-new tires & drive some more!
We enjoyed Nathan Porter's fine Arizona hospitality (thanks for the pizza & drinks brother!) & 'assisted' (
) Nathans 'go-to' guy 'Chris' w/the late-night installation of a C4 rear-end.
We did the GoodGuys-Scottsdale show & won an award for each one of the two vehicles we brought along (55-Chevy & a 64-Rambler). We got to check out the infamous 'Pavillions' on Sat night. It was one of the best 'weekly' local-shows I've ever attended. Very organized & there must have been over 600 vehicles (new & old) in attendance (our local DFW scene could learn alot from these guys).
We picked-up a few Dropmembers..... 'dropped' a complete 6.0 LS motor off (& quickly picked it up again..... Nathan will provide the insider details), & then headed off into the sunset for the 1100-mile journey home.
Special thanks again to Porter & his group (His Dad, Chris, Dino & clan) for making the trip worth the 2K+ miles for us 'navigationally-challenged' TX guys.
