Got back last weekend from Indiana, the plan worked without a hitch. Flew out to IN and drove the car back 13 hours to NY:
Now, to make it a G-Machine! Actually, it already has some upgraded suspension pieces including Yenko sways and handles pretty good. I need to rebuild the steering rack to take out a bunch of play in the steering, and I'd love to get a set of 16" black steely cragars. I hope to get it out to a couple of autoX events this season to see how she'll do.
