We left this morning at 8AM for Hagen Street Rods. It was about 120 miles. We arrived at 11 AM. After a shop tour we had a fabulous BBQ pulled pork lunch with all the trimmings and lots of fresh fruits. The Hagen shop was full of metal working tools, English wheels,plenishing hammers, pulmax, sheers, brakes a bunch a cool stuff. He is building a "coupster" a retractable hard top coupe/roadster,pretty cool.
We left there about 1PM for the last leg of the trip to Columbus, another 120 miles or so. The day went off without a hitch, a fun time. At the afternoon gas stop, I even left the hood closed, the fans off, and did not hit the switch on the new electric pump and the car started and I drove off.....I think it is fixed! We arrived at the Expo center in time to register and then onto the kick off party at the headquarters hotel. There we received dash plaques, t shirt and 2 free beers and dinner. The lot was full of hot rods, customs and friends. We finally left there about 9:30 to head to our hotel....what a fun trip!
Tomorrow it is off to the frairgrounds at 7AM to find a parking spot and look at more rods and visit friends.
