When I left Peoria, IL this Spring, I had to leave the ’68 2+2 behind – I was already overloaded!\u00a0 I had planned to have the E-Type picked up by an auto transport company, but plans changed…<\/p>\n

About 3 weeks after I returned from the first trip, one of my customers offered me a late Series 1 OTS forward bulkhead, and I just couldn’t turn that down.\u00a0 It was in Youngstown, OH, and I figured I could “swing by” there on a trip up to the River this Summer.\u00a0 But then I started thinking…<\/p>\n

Going out to Peoria, IL again from here was kind of ridiculous, but to NOT just keep going and get the 2+2 once I was already halfway there in Ohio was also ridiculous!\u00a0 On top of that, arranging transportation for these inoperable E-types can be a real nightmare, and I knew that with the steepness and trickiness of Steve’s driveway, I could conceivably go through several attempts before someone actually got the job done – that happens – ALOT.<\/p>\n

So in the end, I decided to make another trip out west and just get the 2+2 myself – AND the forward bulkhead…\u00a0 It probably would have been later this Summer, but with the move coming up, I wanted to get ALL road rips out of the way as soon as possible, AND – I sold the 2+2 to a gentleman in the UK!<\/p>\n

So I’m off!\u00a0 Look through the photos below, and it will be like you came along as my co-pilot! – Chuck<\/p>\n
