That's great Scot, glad your getting to share the ride with your father and brother. Enjoy it.

Thanks for all the replies, and advice guys! It was a great day. Sunday I'm driving it to the in-laws. None of them have seen it yet. I have several people in that area that I want to share it with, so looking forward to that also.
Not real sure what area of the car I want to mess with in the near future. I might add a nice EQ to the stereo...I put in a 10 speaker 1600 watt system that isn't bad at all, just needs more tuning than the head unit will allow. Definitely adding a/c this next winter. Gonna pick up a nice camera outfit first...that's a sure thing.
More later!

If you're thinking EQ, I'd look at a JBL MS8 or a Mosconi 6to8.

They do time alignment that makes a very nice sound stage.

Thanks JJ, I'll check these out. I don't think the JBL is still being made, but I could probably find one sitting around.

Drove the car today. Man we had beautiful weather here in N. Ga.
I've logged almost 500 miles. This thing is just a load of fun! Spent the entire day with the car. Drove it to Church. Left there and went to lunch, then I had a couple of people to show it to. The wife went along, and didn't complain about anything...WIN! Most of the day was spent an hour or so away at the in-laws. Pulled the car back in the shop this evening right at dark, and as I'm backing it through the shop door, the pressure side power steering hose lets go at the crimp connection. I had the hose built, so I'm taking it back to see what they can do. SO relieved that this happened in the shop, and not an hour away from here. More Later!

Edit: I thought they were still being made.

I do have one on the shelf.
