Ross & Chris welcome Mike Musto to the show. Mike has owned multiple classic vehicles including a Charger, Daytona (getting a Hellcat Redeye swap), '96 Bronco, and F-150. Mike recently completed a cross-country trip in a Squarebody Suburban with Elana Sherr. They did some tourism and three years' worth of updates to the Suburban in three weeks time! Videos coming soon to the Hemmings YouTube channel!

Hitting the open road for an all-out adventure is one of the great joys in the life of any gearhead. Hitting the open road when filming a new series for Hemmings while taking one of your dear friends along for the ride, well that’s something else entirely. Yet that’s what happen in early April when I teamed up with automotive journalist, host, and author Elana Scherr on a 3,500 plus mile road trip in a completely untested 1981 Chevrolet Suburban for Road to Improvement, an upcoming program that’s set to launch on the Hemming YouTube channel later this year.
