Oh, man,...
Remember what they said about the pioneers crossing the prairies in their Conestoga wagons; "the timid never started, and the weak died along the way,.."!!! ("someone back East is askin' 'why don' she wri-i-te,.?' ")

Just found this post. If anyone recalls, I posted a similar request/challenge about this time 2 years ago. I had sold a '57 444 and was being paid to deliver it from SoCal all the way to the Seattle area. Long story short, the response to my nervous appeal for any and all support anywhere along the almost 2000 route was simply great. Really helped to convince me to go for it. A badly delayed thanx to anyone who replied, and a tip of my hat to the guys in Seattle and Portland who gave me props along the way.

IMHO, there are very few things you can do in life that beat a serious road trip in a vintage car you restored yourself!! Take your time and keep off the Interstates. Pretend you're in a time warp. Drive at dawn, stop often and listen to the breeze when there's no other sound to be heard. Take along a carefully selected "break-down kit" (rule of life; if you take it along, you won't need it!!). Music is not essential; listen to the sewing machine sound of your engine. My car actually ran better upon delivery than when I left home, no s%^&!!!

Let me know if I can help w/ the "take along kit", and God speed!
