Wow, that's pretty awesome. It should get me where I want to go then easily.

Well, I was just about to get some after a nice meal and some wine on a Friday night when the kid started crying. Guess she fell asleep up there so I guess on to the next best thing..

It's all together on on it's own feet now. I tried to fire it up but no spark so far. I also had a fuel leak because of a wrong fitting. I cranked it and it wouldn't start when I noticed that the cas was loose and crooked so I think I jacked it up since the propeller has some play now. So I'm just waiting for new parts to show up.

I ghetto rigged the front license plate for now as I can't bring myself to drill holes in my freshly painted bumper.

wow! Love the color :D Are you gonna make it to the Cookout this year? Car looks amazing!

Thanks man. I am hoping to go as long as we can find a babysitter. I don't think the kids would make it for the whole day.

I had some issues with the engine I bought as discussed in a different thread. So, I got a new block and head and it's finally running good. Big thanks to Julian for coming out with a good block and working with me until 2:30 in the morning.

The driver's axel is clicking like crazy and the isc isn't regulating, but once I get those I should be on the road. Hopefully, we'll be at the cookout next year!

Well the car is finally back on the road. I sure do like driving it everyday over my truck. The paint still needs some touch up and I'd like to tint the windows a little. Otherwise, I'm loving the car. It's a blast to drive, but still comfortable to ride in. Wright county cops don't give me a 2nd look either, which is nice.

I'm on the fence about dynoing it yet since it's taken so long to get it going again. Maybe later this fall I'll let Shane have at it.
