I took the car for a shakedown run at the Auburn airport today. The tranny shifts up through the gears nicely, the brakes are excellent, and she didn't run hot. She's almost ready for the road!

You could have a car show in your driveway every time you roll your garage door up! Definently a fan! Nice stable!

Thanks!
On another note, I did cause an accident today. Sort of.
I was approaching a light with the car on the trailer. An elderly couple in a RAV4 was to my right and there was a 1-800-JUNK truck right behind them. Both the elderly couple and the truck driver appeared to be checking out the car. The lady driving the RAV4 looked up right when the light turned yellow and panicked. She slammed on her brakes to stop for the light and the truck driver smashed into them. The rear window exploded and it caved in the back.

Agreed. They were on the car when I bought it. And I don't hate them enough to deal with selling them. Plus, the rims need to be big to clear the brakes. [ September 29, 2012, 10:34 PM: Message edited by: iceman302 ]

Great job! Can't wait to see it in person. You should come by the shop when you get some time and show her off a bit.

Look like she'll be ready for the road this weekend. Too bad I won't have any time to drive it. [ October 02, 2012, 10:31 PM: Message edited by: iceman302 ]

Had a little setback last week. The radiator worked its way loose on the bottom... right into the fan. Nothing $355 and a new radiator couldn't fix. She's officially ready for the road! Now I just have to find time to drive her.
