Just took it to the gas station and filled it up for the first time.
Went about 10 miles. The engine is getting up to about 220, but when I got back I scanned the radiator with my temp gun and found it to be about 160. I therefore assume the t-stat is sticking. The engine was built in 2009 and it has been sitting, so that is possible.
Will get the alignment by Monday or so. Getting graphics done for the glass soon too.
The brakes have a little air - but what a difference having all four working makes! B and W did a great job on the rears.
I have 23 days and counting to get it to drive to Florida. Don't you guys just love the thrash? I don't know how they do the seven day builds on TV and actually have a road worthy car - except there is an army of folks working on them.
Stay tuned!
