[NOPANTS68]

Drove it home from the shop last night for the first time. I stopped and got gas and had two old guys that were out for a night ride on their Harleys stroll over for an inspection. They liked it and asked a lot of questions. Those interactions are my favorite moments of all and why I build old cars. Grass roots cars and grass roots people make for some good, warm conversations. I dig that.

My first impressions mostly came from the Ridetech suspension. I can't believe this car rides and handles as well as it does. It's super soft and plush over bups. I have the shocks at "9" out of "18" clicks and that seems like a decent balance for road work. Even with that iron giant under the hood, the car stays flat and feels really sharp. The alignment specs I put into it last night on our rack in my shop were:

L R

Camber .5* .5*
Caster 1.2* 1.2*
Toe .10* .10*

It seems pretty crisp as a starting point so I'll start there. It'll probably need a bit more camber and maybe a few tenths of caster more.

Now it's down to installing all of the glitz and getting the shots out in the sun you guys requested! 20 days!
