Default Test Drive

I got to ride in my car today, a little test drive. What a rush after so long. Car drove straight, stopped, ran GREAT. Thanks to Gearhead Garage for all their work, and to my wife who supported me, and told me to get it finished the way I wanted.

I will get to drive it to the Sac. Autorama, where it will be in their display.

Here are some pictures, it was late in the day, so lighting wasn't great.
