Grand Sport Update: It's ALIVE!

[Mecom Racer]

It came to life on the 4th of July. The first test drive was on the 8th. Since then, we tweaked the "visual" wheel alignment some more and went over the suspension one more time. The car seems to bounce quite a bit so I think the rear shocks I'm using are completely toast. They came with the donor '92 Dana 44 rearend so I'm not surprised. I ordered a new pair of Bilstein Sport shocks ('96 Z51) and will dial up the setting on the Aldans in front. I hope that'll do the trick. I have to say, driving the car with no interior was quite a challenge! I had to hold onto the steering wheel pretty hard to stay put.

Today I drove the car over to the interior shop. The guys there were pretty amazed, to say the least. I spent an hour there with them going over all the details in what I'm looking for from them. The guy was definately up to the challenge!

I put some newer images into my album: http://photobucket.com/albums/v494/M...ort%20Tribute/

I still have to put the newest ones in there showing the car with the hood on... very slick!
