    Got all the suspension work finished, hade the car alignment after installing tubular UCA's; took the car on the highway for the first time, in a long time. First time I had the nerve to go 70mph since starting the Borgenson steering conversion April 2015. The car drives like it is suppose too -- goes where U steer, don't have to constantly make corrections. Not afraid to go highway speeds.
    Ready to head to Lima, Thursday -- looking forward to it.

    Only 700 miles today, getting through Denver proved to be challenging. Made it to Hays Kansas. Thank god for a/c as it has been in the upper 90s all the way.

    I'll be loading up in the morning. Procrastinating hard as usual. Going to get a couple hours of work done on the '71 so I can take photos and pretend I'll bring it again one year.

    Thing did not workout to bring the Comet. The car developed a banging/knocking noise somewhere in the front suspension last evening going to a neighborhood cruise-in, got progressively louder on the way home. Baffled at what might be the problem; under quick observation can't see anything loose. I had the car up to highway speeds a few days prior and had no issues. Guess I am lucky something undesirable/unpleasant did not happen.
    I am needing a break from the project, kind of burnt out working in this heat, going to leave it till next week.
    In the interest of safety and inconvenience going to leave it and come in daily driver.
