Drove the car with the roof off to the DMV for new year stickers for the registration. Then drove to the shop reaching speeds up to 70mph, trying to burn off the previous oil/gunk on the drive train. Worked and still no leaks. Now the underbody doesn't smoke Timed the ignition and set idle speed. The AAR (aux. air regulator) is kaput so I have it clamped off until I can fix it so cold starts require my foot on the gas until the car warms up. Otherwise she's running great! Lowered the front end via the torsion adjusters so the ride is now level.

Drove home with the heater on full blast and windows down to burn out the oil in the driver's side heat exchanger. No forced air to the passenger side yet so hopefully that will slowly burn out.

Drives really well. Taking some getting used to on shifting and 1st will grind if not engaged slowly and pretty much stopped. Down shifting 5th to 4th is tough...still figuring out how she likes to be shifted.

Sure do like driving her...couldn't stop smiling...even with the front hood missing!
