Default Michigan or Bust
For those of you who are interested, I have put together a facebook group for our local club members to follow our journey to the Model A museum grand opening next month. I thought I'd share it with you all too. We plan on doing about 3,000 miles in 8 days with some sight seeing, hopefully we make it!

With your OD & AC, you should be "ridin' in style!"

Probably wont need the AC after we get past Tennessee if I were guessing.

Made it from Fort Worth to Jackson, TN today. About 600 miles. Plan to do about the same tomorrow.

Would have gone further, but had a minor problem and it would have been dark by the time we got to the next town...so we elected to just stay here.

We are in Dayton, Ohio. Would have probably made it to Detroit, but had some more muffler problems. OF ALL THINGS, that darn muffler just doesn't want to stay on there!

Yesterday the bolts came out of the header, and when that happened I think something happened to the rear clamp, but it didn't fully break until about 200 miles down the road today.

thanks! Made it into Detroit today, and went to Edsel's home. I've been to & done everything in Detroit before, but Edsel's house is so nice I wanted to go back. Definitely way better than Henry's. Tomorrow, we are going to The Henry Ford museum and across the border...

How are you going across state? If you have more issues I will be back home from work Friday around noon. I live halfway between Flint and Lansing off I69.
