Hello Doug,

No, I thought about taking our combo up there, but didn't. I might next year. It's a four hour drive and the farthest I've towed our camper so far is three hours, so I'm slowly working out the bugs and building up my confidence.

Plus, I have a few rust places I'd like to tackle, which will most likely be this winter. I've been stalling in buying a welder and been using my dads for misc projects. But I've got two vehicles and an old motorcycle to do bodywork work, and it's not efficient to run over to my dads throughout body work projects.

The GMC COE rat rod you mentioned is a '49. I did not have the opportunity to talk to the owner, so I don't know the details on the engine. I do remember looking in the cab and seeing sheet metal work/engine shroud that extended into the cab. I would imagine it get's a little toasty in there; especially, during the Kansas summer months.

David
