It drives nicely. so many changes.  for starters it brakes when you tell it too.  the shifter throws are no more then an inch in either direction, previously id have to throw my whole arm up and down.  I didnt get on it hard but plan to this weekend, will get a better feel for the handling then.  cant wait.

Excellent news, Rob. Very glad to hear this. It must feel great being back behind the wheel after so long.
The Twin Cam plays the symphony whilst my right foot conducts the orchestra. At 3800 rpm the Mad Pipe Organ joins in.

Well... that was a quick 12 hours.

I was out this morning and after a quick put spot to check on the jeep i got back in the car and it stopped running right.  sputtering and back firing. 

I limped back to the shop....

Shrug....
