Florida to Cali * roadtrip

This is beginning to sound like one of my road trips.:ROFLMAO: Remember West or hillsboro if you come this way. Sending you my cell just in case.;)
 
The fantasy is always better than the reality isn't it. ;)

Stopped now to take the lil lady to lunch in New Orleans. Then trying to make Houston

Good luck, be safe, I'm jealous.
Got a best yet of 22.7 mpg on the last tank others have been 20

Letting the gf drive now so I can relax a bit and rest my leg. Damn the accelerator pedal is stiff!
- also got stung Friday nite at the hotel by a bee when I stepped on him, so I've got two toes that look like lil red sausages, and they burn and itch like a mofo. LOL. Anyway, that doesn't help the situation.
 
Stayed the night just outside Houston (Cypress) with a buddy. Up and at it again today. Today's destination will be The Big Texan in Amarillo, TX.
Taking the 40 home so if you're along that route maybe you'll see us.
 
Taking more damage. At this rate I won't eve have to take the old one off when I get home. LOL

That's what happened to my 85 when I drove it cross country; shredded the rear fillers... Got little cracks in the stockers near the body, and then the wind murdered them.

Looks like you are still making good progress. Drive safe !
 
Got the lil lady driving again, so I've got time to chat. Talk to me about brake problems.
I've seen in the past some do a vac. booster upgrade. Why ?
I've got brake problems. Hard pedal when ever you use them abruptly (like if you catch a yellow light) They are dangerous IMO as in any panic or quick apply, you get nothing but a rock hard pedal. Is this a sign of a failed accumulator ?
 
Usually but it can also be the screw-in switch on top. Vacuum brake conversion eliminates this concern.
 
Ok, thanks for the info. I'll research that issue more when I get home. Mostly just curious right now

And for now, I'll leave you with this....
