Almost 500 miles on Frosty today

[mbstude]

Jerry: SO WHAT! I put 700 miles on my Ford pickup this weekend.

I only took two pictures with my phone. Didn't take the camera.

[Flashback]

Hey Jerry , I haven't been able to make any of the Southeast shows since the S.E. zone meet. I have been busy on the house and woods cleanup. Just gittin caught up a little. I hope I will be back in circulation in the spring. I am goona get over and see you and Matthew, believe it or not. LOL

Jerry, I've always loved that rake - looks like a '60s custom, for sure! But yeah, the liftover into the trunk... maybe a bit tall

[jclary]

Jerry, you know that some of your north Georgia neighbors would say it is perfect...only thing missing is about 20 t0 25 gallon jars of moonshine in the trunk.

[Jerry Forrester]

(However, yours is a bit high.)

Might have something to do with those 31" tall meats I have under the ass end.

I think I'm going to have to install a set of 2" lowering blocks. I like the nose down attitude, but this is just a little too much.

Well...you could always weld on an I beam DOT guard like tractor trailers use.

Actually, it is hard to keep one of these cars from looking good no matter how it is oriented. (However, yours is a bit high.)

Hey Jerry
Have you posted any pictures of Frosty on the road?? Scenic backdrop stuff??

No scenic backdrop stuff. This'll have to do today.

[Jerry Forrester]

Sounds like a fun trip, Jerry. Glad Frosty had a trouble free trip. I missed another one. Maybe next year I'll get to make some of the meets around the southeast.

Tex, I looked for you all day. As a matter of fact, I looked for you the last three weekends, Lineville, Perry, then Moultrie. Are you ever going to come out of hiding?

For many years now...I have said that, "you know you've had a good time when your Studebaker arrives back in your own driveway...under it's own power!"

Kinda like one of my horse riding days when the real joy was getting back to the barn...and I'm the one on top! (sorry to say that was not always the case)

Thanks for sharing the story, it encourages the rest of us to attempt the same. If the weather is nice on Thanksgiving, I will drive one of mine to the family reunion.

I put about 300 on the GT going the other way, but I had 2 grandaughters and Grandma with me. I hated to miss Moultrie, but we had a club meeting in Americus the same day. We are going to try not to let that happen again.



PS. Also had a wire come off the Alternator. Stopped at the Piggly Wiggly on the way home and had to be jumped off.

I saw-
2- custom 53's
1-rough 52 convertible
2-custom 50's
2-55's side by side
1-champ PU
1- nice 63 gt hawk
1-59 lark
Probably missed some as well, it was a mad house!

I bet that was fun, and worth the trouble. 500 miles is a full days drive most any time.
