      Checklist for 500 miles in...

      We have a lot of fun posting pics of our builds, but wondering if anyone has compiled as list of things to check as you start driving. 100, 500, 1000+ miles in... things like steering shaft bolts, sway bars, etc.

      I'm thinking all of the above, plus more, at regular intervals. Just like a regular xxx or xxxx mile service on a production vehicle...

      I've been worried about the same thing. In Ontario we have to get our cars safety checked before they go on the road under a new owner but it doesn't check everything. I'd like to have a real mechanic check over everything I did. There's guys on here who have done this lots so I'm going to subscribe.

      guess there are no takers.

      so far my list is:
      -- check sway bars (mine disconnected in the front)
      -- check steering shaft bolts (mine were loose)
      -- check fluid levels
