How is going? So cool you get to do this at your age. I am sure you will remember this for a long time. Good luck!
Going great! 1050 miles down 950 to go! Today was a long day with mountain passes reaching up to 7,200 feel, 30 mph head wind, and snow but the cruiser did great.
 
Whats up with the new sticker on drivers door?
He’s part of a group of students who are doing this trip in restored or semi restored vehicles.

Yes, I get that, I have been following along. He has a new sticker on the drivers door. If you look back it had a rt66 sticker before and now has a #1 sticker.
 
Had a few of these guys stop by for the night here. These guys are the younger versions of us older gear heads. Good to see the connection that will be life long. This is the future of our car hobby. Dirty hands, great stories and good laughs all evening.

I guess you will now need to attend SAS9 to hear more of those stories around the campfire(s)…. Although I’ve heard they get embellished a bit as the night rolls on… 🤣

That's all "hearsay" and it may or may not be accurate. 🙉

Hopefully you are planning to stop in downtown Wichita at the first Phillips 66 station ever opened for a photo op. (the building still exists but its not a gas station anymore, but nostalgic nevertheless)

 
Meant to post this earlier…. CBS THIS MORNING did a segment on the McPherson Automotive Restoration program last Sunday…. might be a @50peaks sighting or two. Its an incredible program (I’ve participated in their summer school classes)
