Details!
I'm taking the ramp truck to Myrtle beach Monday for the big one! The biggest show in the state is March 21-23.
I added a Mercury light switch under the hood and a manual heater hose shut off also. I sure hope it makes it down and back with little trouble as possible.

Re: Details!
I cleaned up all 3 yesterday it was so nice outside. First time the 71-64 have been hand washed in 2019.
The ramp truck I cleaned the wheels and all the glass. I added a few decals as well.

Re: Details!
Been there many times in my Vette but will be missing this one. Can't afford the hotel on my own and my buddies arent' going. I've thought one day I should take the truck down there.

Re: Details!
Well we made it without any problems other than a little oil vapor coming off the engine into the cab while driving. To many holes for cooling to fill up with rags while trying to drive 60-65 MPH! The truck got 12MPG also which I thought was pretty good. We drove mostly back roads but had to drive about 1.5 through Columbia on Interstate 385,26,20.
