Going down the road it was fine, but when traveling less than 20mph, the parking brake shoe would make all sorts of ugly noises.

I rolled home this afternoon, and the total miles I put on the car since leave home a week ago friday was 2,495 miles. I had a vapor lock issue, a fuel pick up issue, and a broken parking brake. Overall I'm really happy with how everything went.
Overall I would be extremely happy as well, Scott. For a brand new car on it's maiden voyage - that's not bad at all. Goes to show the quality of car you built. Looks like you all had a blast.
