not for nothing but that guy shad a cake walk with that 57 however with the sounds of the story he is kinda making it sounds like a massive amount of work thats just my opinion though.
I was just gonna read the first few pages........but it sucked me in. I read all 19. Great story. I would not have trusted that trans after it first acted up...........but, I'd have had other problems, I'm sure.
Doesn't hurt to start your trip in a shop with a lift and at least a grand worth of new parts, bring along a mechanic / master fabricator, and have a rolodex full of aftermarket parts industry contacts.
Before I went to pick up my 57 wagon in Austin and drive it back to California, I called a friend of mine who buys old diesel Mercedes and drives them from wherever they are back to CA to restore and asked him for advice on what to bring. His advice was:
Just checked the difference between classic and premium. $55 more to upgrade. I'll definitely be upgrading before we go on our next big trip. It would pay for itself with the first tow over 7 miles.
