Maybe you can get Charlie to move nearby. You can be neighbors.

Sounds good but Greeneville is in Eastern TN, very near the NC border...shorter trip than SoCal to Mich though.
I am in the same boat...out of all the projects in the queue I have just two that are making the trip, the 56 F100 and the 40 Ford coupe.
JTB, how are you transporting your truck? I moved a 53 F100 from Fallon, NV to San Diego in the back of a 16 foot Uhaul truck...wasn't a bad trip, just needed a loading ramp at each end.
Speaking of rental trucks, I got a quote from Penske...trucks going one-way East are three times the price of those going one-way West. The exodus is in full swing.

I hope you get to take your shop with you. The lift looks handy, and you might miss all that. I know I would.
