That is about what is budgeted.

Not the worst idea I've heard in awhile.

Look out secret service.

Ron, thanks again for having us in your home man. Great house, family, shop, dog.... and you ain't too shabby yourself. I can't wait to see that AMX completed.... so killer in person.

The key words of our stay with Ron are: "stranger danger"

Early numbers WITH the gas leak ranged from 6.2 to 8.3 mpg. But with some work we are hoping for double figures. Stay tuned.

Ron can put down the Coors Lights at a healthy ratio to our IPA's.

Pics tell great stories don't they?





Ron donated a Chevy orange air cleaner. Of course it will be faster now.





Ron showed us what he does for fun in MD.... drives his pickup truck through rivers.





This guy denied just us from getting a block closer to the Capitol. How dangerous do we look?



Bill Cosby's preferred Chili Dog at Ben's Chili Bowl



Can you say front row parking in downtown DC?



Should arrive in Charlotte, NC tmrw.....

Ron's talent as a car builder can only be outdone by his hospitality. Thanks Ron it was a great day of "stranger danger"

Good stuff Ron! I hope there's more great guys like you along the way.... <sly "knowing" smile>

Yea we need more good Ron and less bad Ron and Weld

DC police are the best, Yea that parking and the chili dog Suck just like the trip

Tomorrow we see if we can net a solid 10+ on the gas milage. DG you forgot to mention the dirt and rust soaked air filter element, dirty fuel filter, mucked up vacum advance line. There have been quite a string of mechanics "improving" the truck.

Bars are all closed so I guess it's time to catch some sleep.
