Wow, Wow, WOW,
Um, You two don't mess around. So glad to have met you both, I remember hearing you had a pretty extensive road trip planned but didn't realize the extent of it. Memories for a life time. By the way....... have you had to buy tires for that rental car yet? |

Much fun yes.
Only one phone between us for updates. Rian will post pics etc later. He is the wordsmith. Not as good as Bomp, but OK.

Hi Greg Yessir !! We are merciless on the rentals. We paid for unlimited mileage and as gas averages at $2.00/gallon here vs our $9.00/gallon in England....... WoooooHooooo!!! In fact, tyres was bald, brake light went out and it demanded an oil change. Stopped in Little Rock, Arkansas and swooped out for a V6 Chevy Traverse LT with 240 miles on clock. V6 joy compared to old car. I think we have about 1600 miles left before Thursday. Gas Monkey Garage and other places in Dallas tomorrow for Martins birthday. Call or text him on the iPhone after 07.00 USA time on *1 (501) 380-5483 Thank you all for the various friendships and support to our trip. Priceless.

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Having spent quite a lot of time with Paul "NevEno" and Brandon "White Knuckle Garage" in Ada near Oklahoma City, discussing various cool mods.........
I have decided to investigate and possibly pursue a modification that could surprise some of you. It involves a part of a F@¥€ Ideally I need to find someone who is into our trucks to help but also lives down toward Florida to help me source a bench seat and get it shipped or delivered to our shipping agent in Florida. It's amazing how inspiring this trip has been, meeting up with all the various guys, their wives, kids, pets and learning from them all. I now want to get onto my build pronto.

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Well, I did what various guys said to do.........
Went to see Sue at ASM Upholstery. Ass Monkey girl is lovely and so down to earth. Then GAS MONKEY GARAGE !!! Well, we spent almost 3 hrs behind the scenes at Gas Monkey Garage yesterday. Knowing some amazingly cool people did help get us in. (YOU GUYS KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND CAN EXPOSE YOURSELF IF YOU WANT) Aaron was taken with us and spent at least 30 minutes of real conversation time talking to us. Incredibly bright guy. He has so much knowlege and when discussing some of the mods Martin does for disabled, he was so on top of the technology and asked about our build challenges on our trucks too. REFRESHING. Aaron also let me photograph his one tattoo and told me it's story. (No, I was not starstruck, honest) I also watched him do some great photos with a little Mexican boy who had travelled with his parents to come see the shop. Jonathan Mansauer the behind the scenes PR guy was great as well and spent a lot of time showing us around and asking loads of quiestions about what we do. He showed us his one owner low mileage Ford pickup on a perfectly executed static drop. RR was in and out the shop, signing autographs and letting the "outsiders" take photos with him. A lovely thing to have been privileged to participate in. Thanks to all involved. Down in Austin Texas area today.

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Well.
We made it through security. Got my hand baggage rumbled due to the two LED lights I had packed. My ski bag cost an extra $200.00 to load. But hey ho....... Thank you one and all for all the friendship, gifts, meals, parts, good times. This was the trip of a lifetime. Trip report when I can get to it.

Thank you all for the interest and replies on the thread. I appreciate every reply. Currently been sleepless since U.S. 06.00 yesterday, no sleep on plane but I have to push through till 21.00 or 9pm tonight before I crash out. I am about to start uploading the 200 photos I took over the last 16 days and nights. I hope you guys are OK with that many photos of the road trip. If anyone has questions in the quotes up above, please ask them again as I am dead beat.

No time to recuperate really, just got to do stuff that needs doing. I just finished raking all the leaves and pine needles in the yard as we have fall here too, then cut the grass, did all the laundry, my clean and used clothes, dried the lot and ironed a couple of pieces. Also unpacked my parts, not I boxed, just unpacked them... Oops, just realised I need to check the ski bag to see if the steering column made it in one piece.
