While you are in Amarillo eat at Henk's BBQ. Little hole in the wall dive but great food at a real fair price. It is about a block North of I-40 on Grand Street.

Hell if I get my 65 to a point of putting exhaust on it by then I will meet you there.

The Fling J is out on 67th ave close to I-10,, I can remember when we run out there I-10 was not even there had to run Buckeye Rd. from where it is now I-17 west several miles then pick up 10 out there by Goodyear or you can take I-8 down by Casa Grande to Gila Bend exit go north back to I-10 back in the 70's & 80's, Now as far as Roswell N.M. When you come into town take the U.S. Hwy out of town going west & there used to be if it is still there a real old Junk Yard with a lot of old Fords but remember when we were there last time I swear he seen one Alien too :lol: much but of course that week was Alien Week so the whole town was dressed up for the ocassion

Garbz, good luck with the move/trip! When you go through Springfield, MO be sure to eat at Lambert's , home of the "throwed rolls". They serve their HOT dinner rolls by throwing across the dining room at you. Excellent food and portions that even Jr can't finish.

Tom, I used that salvage yard a bunch when I was putting the 390 in my 62. The owner even sold me a trans adapter out of a truck at his house. I left Roswell a couple of days before the 50th anniversary of the crash. Town was FULL of oddballs!!
