Default DONE!!! well close, but they never are

Haven't posted cuz I was livin' in the shop. I said I was going to th gg show in Joliet and I made it. Put in a lot of hours and thanks to my friend Dewey and my neighbors, Mike and Chris it was possible. I spent 19 hours in the shop on Thurs.(till 3am), got up at 7 and finished the car. I test drove it down the road and back and packed it up. We drove 200 miles there for the maiden voyage. The car ran flawlessly down the road getting 20mpg on the way back and it still needs more tuning. Handles like a dream even with a neutral setup, and man it's a riot banging through 6 gears. I will spend some time this winter on details like some small clamps and a shifter boot. Hopefully some big brakes in spring, but I am gonna drive 'er till the snow flies right now!
