Sounds like a great trip, TB!
Let me know the next time you plan that one again. If you're passing through on the first Sunday of a month you're both welcome to drop in and visit our Inland Mopars Car Club monthly meeting in Rancho Cucamonga (just off the I-10 and I-15 interchange), or if we have a club activity scheduled while you're in the area we'd love to have you both join in!
The best would be if you're in the SoCal area with your Dart on May 20, 2018, come on by (or enter your Dart) in our annual charity-benefit "Mopars in May" all-Mopar car show. You'd probably pick up the "Long Distance Award" at a minimum!
And after I get my '69 Dart finished, we could take a cruise through SoCal to a couple of "car spots" that most people don't know about.
