I bought the car in 2015 and had it towed up to the house. Have never driven it before.
I got the steering wheel back on Friday, put it on and gave it it's first shake down drive. In some ways, it was very cool and others a little disappointing. It rides like it's a buck board. I have some "cost effective" shocks on there now, so I'm going to upgrade them to Bilstien B6's like I have in the 74. Hopefully that will help I Wonder if I put something back together upside down....... it just seems awfully stiff. And there's an electrical issue with the wiper switch, it gets hot and sends out puff's of smoke so, I unplugged it. Have to figure that one out as well But all in all, very cool. I've owned it for 7 years now and I know it sat for another 10 before I bought it so, it's come a long way. I have video of the first drive but, the audio really sucks for some reason. If I can clean it up, I'll post it. These pics were taken after I washed it, right after it's inaugural drive. Attached thumbnail(s)
