it looks like Travis is moving out of San Diego and up to Seattle... damn.

So he had to start driving his hot rods up to his new place, and the '40 I've admired that he's fixed up over the years was the recent moved car.

Made it all the way up the West coast with only one small problem, a fuse blew on the lights, but was quickly fixed.

On the way up though, he was stuck in traffic in Los Angeles, on the 5, and some random guy jumps out and hands him a Cuban cigar, telling him he deserved it for driving this cool old car

Another great guy moving on and out for a better life than this overexpensive underpaying city was going to help out.

What the heck will he do with the cool boat he fixed up?

Now he has both his cool old cars up north

a 1940 Ford cutaway chassis and running gear bought from Iowa state university in 1994, it was offered to the Henry Ford Museum who declined to accept it, thinking they already had one. They don't, they have an Oldsmobile.

a trainer and driver’s education instructor at the university that was employed by the school from the 1950’s well into the 1980’s claimed that he was very familiar with the chassis and that he had, in fact, used the chassis as a teaching tool starting in around 1957. They used the chassis for decades until sometime in the 1980’s.

still running with a Sun Tach... that's style

Dual quads are always an eye magnet

Street Rodder Magazine gave Bill Davis' 40 roadster a great bunch of publicity, and so has Rodding USA
