HOT ROD is proud to celebrate 30 years of its famed HOT ROD Power Tour with a five-city tour that runs through the Southeast/Midwest regions of the United States. The tour dates are June 10 through June 14, and the journey begins at the historic Beech Bend Raceway in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Over 6,000 cars and trucks are expected, and the cruise will conclude five days later in Indianapolis.
The official Day 1 is June 10 at Beech Bend Raceway Park, and it will be a busy day of activities. The sprawling facility will not only host the car show, but the dragstrip will be alive with action, and enthusiasts can shred their tires on an autocross course in the oval. The tour will then head south on Day 2 to Nashville Superspeedway, where an autocross course will also be set up. Don't worry-the MotorTrend Event team has worked hard to organize a better ingress/egress for this year's event.

    Ex over the road truck driver here; I used to do that to EVERY truck I had - whether I owned the truck or drove a company one. People were always asking how much did the custom carpet cost. I used to do the cutting and install myself, as well as adding sound deadening. That was well over 20 years ago, too.

    I'm a big fan of those cars. Hope you have a great trip! One small tip, (you probably already know this,) if you find the front suspension is a bit jerky at high speed in sweeping corners, lower your front tire air pressure. It wont totally make up for the complete lack of castor but it will numb some of the idiosyncrasies.

    So right about installation errors with air ride. Every modern semi tractor and nearly all the trailers have air ride and have for many years. They run hundreds of thousands of miles with little maintenance to the air ride system because they're installed thoughtfully.

    I remember back in the 80 's Lucky my friend had a Ford pinto , we got some carpet remnants and took the seats out and laid it in there , it was the nicest thing about the car lol ! The good old days ! Peace and Love , fast easy way to make the vehicle look aesthetically better , sound dampener too !

    If you are worried about carbon monoxide, you can cover over a lot of holes in the firewall and some on the floor if you get aluminum faced duct tape and cover them up with that. It isn't regular duct tape, it has that aluminum face on it so will make small holes airtight and will dramatically reduce airflow through larger holes. It will also reduce sound transmission into the car, especially through the firewall. It comes in 2.5 and 3 inch wide rolls and you can usually get it at home centers.

    When running wheel studs (like you have in the front) that barely protrude past the wheel I've had the misfortune of the lug nuts breaking off at less than 50 ft-lbs. I recommend longer wheel studs.

    Lucky, I'm pretty sure I have an extra set of reproduction chrome gage bezels/lenses that I had ordered for my 63 convertible but the package was believed to be lost. After the replacement order was sent it turned out the original package had been misdelivered to another house in the neighborhood and was found. If you would like them for the wagon please let me know.
