Jim's Build Thread

[33fromSD]

Car runs great....I went over to my neighbor this weekend who can be a stickler as I mentioned earlier and showed them the letter from the state for inspection and asked if he minded if I drove it around the blocks a few time to make sure things were good for the inspection. He reluctantly said fine but then I offered to take him for a ride too to help. He loved it.

Got it loaded on the trailer this morning for heading to the inspection site tomorrow. Had no issues until I got to the running boards and before I knew it I heard "s-c-r-a-p-e........." and a slight cracking sound....got out and noticed the running boards..... Son of a gun....while I frustrated, it's all fixable. The good news is it's all cosmetic...the running boards are still solid as a rock, no flexing or cracking when I step on them. My guess is because they are solid that's why they cracked since there was no give.

I'm going to build ramps to go under the aluminum ramps on my trailer to ease the accent and descent angle.

I'll touch it up for now to make it look presentable and then do a better fix in winter when it's in storage. Always something, but if you think about it, it's going to get some road rash anyway from driving. Just would have liked to drive it on the road first to get the road rash.
