Arrived in San Diego today , had a great trip and the truck ran great, no trouble at all. cruised 70-80 MPH all day long with out a whimper .
stopped in Overbook Oklahoma and had my original hood installed by Dan Roberts and his son, they did a knocked out job and got in on just right , the seams all look nice. He has lots of 60-66 stuff and builds some nice trucks.
Spent a day in OKC to visit daily and friends then on to Socal via I 40, I 17, I-8.
attached some photos of the journey and stops in Art Deco gas station in Texas, and the corner in Winslow AZ.
Will look for a painter in San Diego area for hood, just need a decent paint job, not custom as it is a patina truck any way. any one on the site that might know of a shop would be appreciated. I will be here in Socal for several weeks.
thanks to all for the great advice in planning and along the way, i will post up details on the trip back to FLA in the fall.
