Not a stovebolt, but I drove from south central Tennessee to eastern Pennsylvania to pick up a freebie Gazelle kit car. I met a couple of fellow bolters along the way. When a relay run of a custom china cabinet for some tornado victims by some antique truckers fell apart, I ended up driving to southwestern Vermont and back across Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois to deliver the piece. The total trip was around 2500 miles. I did combine some business with pleasure, making contact with one of my custom gunsmithing customers and getting a commission for another rifle buildup along the way. Meeting 51 Ashton and looking at his collection of trucks was a definite high point of the trip. The 25-mile ride in that immaculately-restored GMC and a great lunch was the icing on the cake!
