What exactly is a "mystery lunch run" anyways? Is it a mystery where you will end up, or a mystery what lunch will be?

(sorry, couldn't resist)rihwoods - Those can be pretty fun - looks like yours was. Also, the runs that Corvette Mike sponsors (don't know if he still does) are/were pretty cool too!

I always thought that "mystery lunch runs" is what you get after you buy lunch from the roach coach... (sorry, couldn't resist)

Problem now is available two lane routes are drasticlly reduced from all the fires we just experienced...
We have only one left in San Diego East County out of 6 or so until clean up is completed...some are still closed to traffic...

Didn't realize you're in San Diego - one of my Dad's most favorite places in the world! I take it you're safe from the fires?

We quickly evolved to arranging buffet's with restaurants...much easier but in any case, the "run" host calls and makes arrangements a few weeks in advance including estimate of how may people...to our suprise,none have requested a deposit up front...
We also hand out phone contact to run participants (without revealing destination)should anyone get lost on the way...

Rich,
Been working to get mine done, and am getting close. You swear by the Dewitts radiator I see. I may have to go that way, but want to get it operable first.
Good to see you are out there!

I can't say enough about the Dewitts...I installed in the 78 because of the A/C.....still using the C/B four row rad in the 69,but not burdened with A/C on that one...
