Well the car is now in my garage sharing space with the El Camino. Made the 700 mile run to Redding Friday, hung the front clip and loaded the car on the trailer Saturday and then back to San Diego on Sunday. Trip average was 59 mph. Grapevine hill was taking a toll with its 7% grade and 103* temperatures. Surprising amount of newer cars were off the side of the road, but not my Silverado. Turned off the A/C, dropped it into second and kept the speed at 50 mph, never got above 210*.

I had taken the frame up last month and reunited it with the body. Had every intention of bringing to back then but I started passing a kidney stone right before I was ready to come back to SD. Wife had to fly up and drive me home.
