Ford Phaeton 1937

East of Little Rock
I am sorry to announce anyone east of Little Rock is out of the running for the break down pool. So far the only issue is bug's in their teeth. I guess Gary and Charlie may know a thing or two about building cars. Here are some pics from the trip so far. It seems our wheels are getting the true test. From what I understand the "Tall and skinny" should be renamed the "tall and Strong". Word is Posie has made sure to abuse these things from every stoplight or stop sign Bangin gears and sliding sideways. I even heard something about doughnuts. I am pretty sure it was not the kind you eat.

Dayton Wire Crew in in their rust covered stallion

They are in Mississippi this morning with George Poteet (famous car owner with literally hundreds of cars). They got there last night and the car seems to be chuggin along. They only problem encountered so far was a fuel tank vent picking up some rain and getting water in the fuel. They were able to take care of that without an official breakdown. I do have word that there is a possible overheating issue in the future but they are keeping a close eye on that.
