Got a ton of stuff checked off the list the last 2 days.
Yesterday I finished up the rear suspension, got the pinion angle dialed in, recentered the rear end, installed the rear shocks, and went through every nut and bolt on the back end.
It looks good. 👍
Today I did the same on the front, set the ride height, checked every nut and bolt on the suspension and mounts for everything, ran the evap line, installed the bumper, header, lights, signals, inner fenders, finished the hood install and finish adjusted the fenders.
I finished the shifter install, the dash install with bezel and driver seat with the power tracks on the hoopty MCSS seat.
What is the only thing to do when you are almost fully assembled. Take her outside for a photoshoot.
Maybe a pic in the street.
Dumped a Jerry can of premium into her to check the fuel gauge... Works perfect!
Might as well take it for a rip down the street!
So I did.
First off, it has a few rattles. And it rides a little stiff, and with the 245s on the back there isn't much traction, although the road was still pretty covered with gravel from winter.
Half throttle pull to 3000 and a shift breaks the back end loose. Hahahaha, it shifts nice and hard.
Gonna need to install the seatbelts, because when I whipped it around it did grab and hauled her nice and flat around the corner.
Happy day for me. Calling for insurance first thing Monday morning. 😀
congrats on the maiden voyage!
