Power Tour 08

[BC69]

I rolled home this afternoon, and the total miles I put on the car since leave home a week ago friday was 2,495 miles. I had a vapor lock issue, a fuel pick up issue, and a broken parking brake. Overall I'm really happy with how everything went.

Even with a few "new car problems" it seems it was a blast! The weather could have been better I am sure, and I feel for any of you guys in the flood areas. But it was great to see the car finally out on the road and getting driven!

I have about 5k miles in over 3 years and had a few more problems than that ! So I say you are doing well haha!

Got a PowerTour photo album in the works????

For a Bad A$$ car you assembled in your Garage, I'd say that is purdy damn respectable.

Going down the road it was fine, but when traveling less than 20mph, the parking brake shoe would make all sorts of ugly noises.

Overall I would be extremely happy as well, Scott. For a brand new car on it's maiden voyage - that's not bad at all. Goes to show the quality of car you built. Looks like you all had a blast.
