Planning a 1700 mile road trip next weekend to Ohio to pick up my next AC project. Don't want to give out too much info but it's one I've wanted for several years and only the second one I've seen for sale. Plan on leaving Thursday night and get back late Saturday or early Sunday. I'm pretty excited and the wife says I'm nuts so all is well.

Lonnie,
Enjoy the trip! A beautiful time to travel. Sounds like you are going for something quite old...have fun! I hope it is more than you were lead to believe it is to cause the trip!

No, that's still a dream. Don't think the wife would be as easy going on something that pricey.

I've admired the 6-12 for many years. I just hope I never find one for sale.
