So, I guess that salt rusts stuff, huh? I'm from up North originally, so I know the answer to that one.

I've got this crazy idea rolling around in my head that the 46 would be perfect for this trip..........Bonneville in a Beater. I would leave it cosmetically the same, put a simple sbc or sbf in there with a later rear end so I would have good gas milage and reliability, and make the trip. A/C would be nice too.

Maybe I could convince some hot rod magazine that an article on the trip to the flats would make a good story. Maybe even take Route 66 some of the way. This is what happens when you leave me alone too long, I start to think.

Well, in any case I want to go, and thanks for all the input. Sounds like fun.
