Traveling 8000 miles to buy an N96 hood

[AKcharger]

Well in a space of 48 hours i flew from alaska to louisvillie then Buffalo where i rented a pickup and drove 550 miles into Canada to buy a Ramcharger hood (been looking for 5 years) then to Richmond Va to drop it off at my brothers house. After a 5 hour nap back on a plane to Anchorage. I haven't decided if it was cool or crazy...but I got my hood   

Complete except for air box and actuator

Nice !! I wonder if it is the hood from my 71 ?

[AKcharger]

Perhaps? I got it from a guy named Francis in Wellin. He's got a few nice 3rd gens.

Crikies!  Must have cost just as much in air fare as the hood!

I work as a pilot for a small airline up here in AK so I can jumpseat for free. Took UPS down and Delta and Alaska back...so whole trip cost $225 for truck rental and gas

Nothing like road tripping, did the same thing to get the 6pack, but only 1500 miles. Spent some time with my sister, it was worth it. .

It was actually pretty fun, nice weather and senic drive through western PA

[polywideblock]

very nice score , alot of work to get it though   

[tan top]

, sounds like a good adventure , & getting that part you wanted for a long time     

[Old Moparz]

Cool trip.   

Sometimes the trip is a lot more fun than trying to refinish the part.   

[RIDELIKEHELL]

That sounded like it was quite the adventure
