    Looks great... I run two fuel filters too, one back at the tank to keep crud out of the pump. One after the pump to keep crud out of the carb...

    Well I couldn't stand it any more, I did a shakedown ride and this time I put it through the ringer! I can see I am going to be spending quite a bit on tires, lets just say if I want to spin the tires, it ain't a problem! brakes still are not great but there is some there, just need more bleeding I guess (hope) some stering well actually turning radius problems and a little tire scrub on the front fenders, I did spot a small oil leak I think is from the dipstick where it enters the timing cover, will look more tomorrow, all in all it was pretty fun, and I can finally use this icon.....:chirp: just need to be a four speed icon.

    Sounds like you're having fun, Roger! Nothing like a "one-tire-fire" to get the ol' heart going, eh? BTW, did you respray your car, or just add the picture...:huh:

    Mavericking Minds want to know!

    I just resprayed it, still have 3/4 of a gallon left, it's not perfect but I think I can live with it, I guess you would call it a ten footer, it was my first car painting so it's fine with me, some of it turned out great and some of it turned out not so great.

    Thanks Paul it's getting close...
    I cut some white reflective one's and stuck them on the center caps, and like the stripes they will glow when hit by any lighting.
