Tour by Bob and Lynn Brace. Every once in a while Lynn and I (cruisinproducts.com) take a trip north to get away from it all. We had postponed this trip for a number of reasons several times. Finishing a 32 chassis for a customer, we headed north for Traverse City, Michigan, the cherry capital and home to numerous fine wineries. A couple of days earlier I thought of contacting Classic Instruments and picking up a set of gauges for the roadster build. I had talked with John McLeod at several shows this year about the 32 roadster build and he indicated he would be glad to be part of the project. We set aside one morning to make the short trip from Traverse City to Boyne City. |
