I love my dirt driveway, way to go Jim your car looks and sounds fantastic.
Great job Jim!
I lost track of what I did over the last 3 days. Installed the glass, got the AC blowing cold, worked out a half a dozen leaks, loose bolts, and mistakes but all that is left is clean and install the front lap belts, and figure out what is wrong with the speedometer (it slams from stop to stop, have it disconnected right now). I have about 50 miles on it. How the heck do you keep a constant speed without cruise control! Was brave enough to drive it 6 miles to take a photo shoot at at BLM conservation area!

And here are a couple walk arounds in the warm sun for those still hunkered down with old man winter.

Nice!!!!!
Looking awesome Jim.

The speedo will most likely have to come out. I bet the magnetic thingymabob is hitting.

Make sure the cable is spinning smoothly first though. Take it off the back and drive the car, It shouldn't be binding at all.

Yea I can hear the thingumabob hitting with a ting-ting-ting sound. Sucks. Can I fix it? Do I need parts?
You def got the scenery to be driving man! Can I teleport our R/T over there??? Such contrast the blue sky with the orange car!

I took ours out for about a 15 mile loop yesterday and did good. I got an oil leak from the bad spot between motor and trans. I REALLY hope not!

Sure they would look great side by side!

That would suck. I have a freeze plug weeping but it is in the front of the block below the PS pump. Not too bad.... Taking it to the machine shop this morning to see what he thinks. The first drive to the corner store it would not upshift. My heart dropped. Not really sure what happened buy the time I got done tinkering with the kick down linkage it was right back to where I started but is was now shifting....
Took off my horrible aftermarket sway bar and installed my factory OEM sway bar. Now I don't have to deal with the clanging sound and those hideous mounting brackets that caused so many problems!
