  • Join us on our very first fly and drive as we attempt to drive an unfinished 1952 Dodge pickup "project" 900+ miles from Syracuse, NY to Charleston, SC.
    Before we even start our trip back from NY to SC we need to change the starter, transmission, wiring harness and several other unexpected issues.
    Oh, and did we mention there's no heater n the truck and the firewall is full of holes.....With temps in the teens, no shakedown drive before leaving and limited tools and time....What could possibly go wrong???
