Ok update. A week or so away. In case anyone was interested in knowing, I am buying a members truck. If you look under series for sale, I am buying the 1969 bugeye listed there if you would like to check it out. I think it is capable of doing the trip, but if you guys think otherwise let me know. I am flying out there July 6. Any parts I should bring besides oil, antifreeze, and gear oil? The seller thinks I am nuts. But the only thing that worries me is..the ignition system. Of all things! I have to laugh, but I dont know a damn thing about points. I can weld, paint, take things apart and put them back, but I am clueless about a simple system.
