Weekend Report September 5, 2011
Tying up loose ends:
Saturday 9/04
I spent half the day cleaning up my door trim and the vent window hardware. I painted the door trim and also the vent window trim. I have new gaskets that I will install next weekend. In the afternoon I installed the driveshaft from my parts car. The boots were gone on my original driveshaft and I plan on rebuilding the universals but in the short term I wanted something that was road worthy. Finished up some final details while under the car like spraying undercoat on the rear wheel wells. I am basically ready to roll.
Sunday,
I couldn't find the energy to get back to work. So many weekends have passed that it was time to take her out for a shakedown cruise. I put about 60 miles on her in two separate trips. It was great to finally get a chance to get a feel for how she drives and what she is capable of. She ran great with no problems. The car gets in a grove at 60mph. I ran her at 60 mph on the highway for about a half hour. I took her up to 70mph for a couple of minutes and it seemed she had more to give. Sunday was a great day.
The picture below is a stop at a friend's farm in Lincoln.
