And the fun continues...
After 1,600 miles, 27 hours, 3 blizzards, 1 trailer tire (and countless bottles of NOS orange and grape)...

David... why do you have to be that way? (LOL) All I want to do is drive the car for a while (and race)... and you have to remind me that I just missed a great opportunity... c'mon... believe me, if there had been a way, I would have been there. The 6" of snow in Montana slowed me down a bit.
True... thanks, and thanks for the call today. It was a heck of a drive but after crossing the Great Divide four times in three days, this last little stretch was a piece of cake.James

Yeah... when I left Saturday morning it was 5 above... it warmed up in Montana but when we woke up on Sunday morning there was 6" of snow on the truck and trailer and the only way out of town was behind a plow. It snowed almost non-stop though Idaho to Utah, where the snow gradually turned to cold rain. The last thing I saw on the news when we called it quits last night was that there was another blizzard heading our way. Today was nothing but fun... I don't know what was better, the construction on the 15 through 'Vegas or the gail force winds that didn't stop till we crossed the mountains in California.
On the whole, it could have been worse although I am in no hurry to do it again.James

I am "done" for now (whatever that means) and nothing major is happening (for the next little while). Rodger has been kind enough to offer his hospitality while I shake the car down in SoCal so Ironworks Speed and Kustoms - thank you very much.
For now it's off to make sure that everything held together and see if I can't find a nice quiet spot to .... somethingJames

Long day... I think that I might have found one of my transmission issues today and definately found a brake issue.
Tomorrow I have to log some miles to be sure.
Hat's off to Rodger and everybody at Ironworks... awesome hospitality and great support. It's really appreciated and badly needed.James

Awesome car James. I hope you enjoy the California weather while you can. I wish there was a way I could check the car out. Have fun at the Goodguys show!!!

As a truck driver, I can totally relate to the snow and winds. Oh and the construction jam ups really suck too. Glad you made it through it all with that beautiful car.
Any idea when you'll make it to the San Marcos area?67 Camaro convertible (Jinx)

Another long day - finished the nut and bolt, played with ride height, fiddled with the dash, made some minor exhaust tweaks, and ultimately put some really fun miles on the car.
There are still some lingering issues that I need to figure out (like a pesky vibration that comes in at 57 mph but is all gone by about 75) but nothing that seems to be major.
Looking forward to Fontana tomorrow and a cruise up the PCH Friday and then Costa Mesa for the weekend. I can't promise that I'll set the world on fire but at the very least it should be memorable.James

Nice to be in the sun I bet. Been logging some miles as well. I'd have to say wheel balance as long as you don't have solid motor mounts. You may want to try some Dyna beads in the tires.
