This past Saturday I had the car completely assembled and brought home a dealer tag from where I work and took a 65 mile shake down run on the car. WOW what a fun car to drive. The only thing that brought me home was 45 degrees out. Taking it to MVA next week and do their dog and pony show, then stripping the body back off to paint. I would rather take a beating on the street corner than do body work and paint. I have uber respect for the guys who do that work. But my hard headedness makes me do every aspect of the build. In the end it will come out good even if it takes me longer and may cost me extra, but I can say I did it.

Congrats. Glad you could enjoy some miles! I still remember the excitement the first real drive. Gonna roll past 10,000 miles soon and still find it so enjoyable!!

I did about twenty miles today in mine. I was making rev sounds as the car is not done yet. How many miles will I do in my head before it is on the road...?:confused:
