Progress on the '78 (56k obliteration)

What is "56k obliteration"?

LOL you must be young. Before broadband internet 56k was "dial-up" modem speed and it would take minutes per picture to upload. That's how long doober has been working on his car 🙂

Congrats on getting another project in-house to work on Doober. Hope you get it done soon.

Haha - senior moment on my part! I've had a cable modem for about twenty years now and totally forgot about dial up.

Thanks for the kind words 😀 I rarely get on here lately (haven't frequented forums as much in the past few years), it's slowly coming along. I've put the rest of the suspension together + torqued it, and finally drove it for the first time a few weeks ago. I also aligned it (best I could, ran out of caster for the passenger side and discovered I need an outer tie rod end) and took it to one of the local shows on temporary tags. Once I have it more road-worthy I'll get insurance and actual registration (collector car insurance = no emission tests in AZ).
