LA to Phoenix, Tucson and El Paso

After the swap....we managed to get everything in and hit the road for Phoenix...couldn't believe how many wind farms have sprung up since I last drove this way in 2004.
First stop, So Cal Phoenix...nice people to deal with, and they had 3 spinner coupes for sale..this was my pick!
At Tucson, we called by The Old Ford Speedshop, and recognised Charlie Durans old 3 window dirt track car, amongst plenty of other projects.
Another of these "only in America" photos...we did see another with 4 trucks mounted behind....and the number of three ups...i.e. pickup truck, towing a caravan, with a boat behind that...how the hell do they back up??
We contacted "Hot Rods Old Vail" before we left OZ, and they said to come by and look at the facility. $12 million spent so far, multiple bars up and down, dance floors, lunchtime eatery,  nightclub,  car show deal with 400 car park spaces, and the back half has a glass wall where you can watch cars being built/dynoed/painted etc. Just south of Tucson Arizona..Call in for a burger!
Some of the Hemi Chrysler motors I bought in El Paso, and had shipped to my container in Grapevine, Texas.
Friend Michael who was our tour guide around El Paso took us to see this nice 40 coupe...shoulda bought it!!
