The Hook up... - Lateral-g Forums

I guess my Bro and Dad got tired of listening to me talk about one day getting a hot rod to use as my daily so...they hooked me up.
Talked me into taking the plunge and buying a beat up 70 Nova that I had never seen and they said they'd do the work to get it running. Nothing special but nice enough to cruise they said, and as nervous as I was, I went ahead and rolled the dice. To top it off, they live in a condo with no garage so all the work was done in the parking lot...shame they didn't take pics along the way.

Anyways, I just got back from picking it up and driving it ~1K miles from El Paso, TX to Vandenberg AFB, CA. I kept the rpms ~2.5 and it drove smooth all the way except for developing an exhaust leak around the last 5hrs of the drive.

Lots of Love to my big Bro and Dad
