Chip, There are scores of book written on the topic. One that I have sitting on my shelf (unread a common problem around here) is called Undaunted Courage: Meriweather Lewis, Thomas Jefferson, and the Opening of the American West by Stephen Ambrose. The journals aren't all to hard to read...

Great post Chip. The Lewis and Clark expedition is one of my favorite topics to teach. The journals make for great reading (terrible spelling though).

Thank you.

Do you know if they are still available to purchase?

^ same here. Do you have any of the SAE papers?

I was wondering that as well. Air-conditioning?

I looked at the pictures for this car closely. It looks like the Camilo print came directly from Ford. Did Ford do this as a consolation for repairing the early cars? The VIN seems to indicate that this particular car was a pretty early build. Might it have been one of the few that was...

I think this was from a Reno 911 episode. Fake, but funny.

oh man, that guy was doing so good there until the end!

Three times is enough for me. That will drive a man insane!

Thanks for sharing Chip. Stories like that help to put things into perspective. The P-51 has always been one of my favorite WWII birds. Have you ever flown one?

upon further investigation it looks like the transmission was from a Lightning. http://bodiestroud.com/2009/07

Wow! Very impressive engineering. That could not have been a budget project by any means. Two things that I noticed: 1. The steering column going through the header? HOT. 2. I wonder what sort of work it took to make the GT engine bolt up to what appears to be a 5-speed automatic from a...

It's only the 3rd day of the year. I can wait a few weeks more to replace my new blank spot on the wall. What do you say Dave?

Hey DBK? I'm afraid to ask... but is there any possibility of another fantastic calendar for the upcoming year? I'm sure they were an incredible amount of work to produce and ship, but I have greatly enjoyed mine over the past year. A 2011 edition would sure look nice on my wall! Much...

Jason, 1993 was the last year for the Fox body and the first year for the SVT Cobra. Most people would say that the 93 cobras were the high-water mark for the beloved Fox; although some say the 84-86 SVO's held their own.

The SAC Museum is a really cool place. When I went there a few years ago they had a SR-71 Blackbird in the lobby and a huge hangar filled with all sorts of cool history. They had a really nice section Jimmy Doolittle and the Tokyo Raiders. It's well worth the stop if you ever find yourself in...

I wouldn't give a person that uses "lol" in their daily language even $100. To each his own of course, but in my opinion red wheels don't work here any better than they do on the Laguna Seca Boss.

Put a dyno in your garage. You could get the car up to temperature on the coldest of days and your neighbors would love it!:thumbsup

Jason, I have the book that DBK recommended. I'd be happy to loan it you for as long as you'd like to have it. I also have a nice book that SVT put out awhile back. If you want to read an excellent narrative of the GT40 story I'd suggest picking up a copy of the book Go Like Hell. I don't...
