Hey, welcome! I'm in your area and drive my '49 GMC almost daily around here. I know exactly how you feel. I was on the 5 highway going north when a friend and his wife pulled up along side and waved. She kept asking him why I was going so slow, and didn't I know the speed limit was 60? Gotten the finger from some people too.
You will get lots of answers here. hope to see you around!
