ready for the season...

Picked up the new headers from powdercoat Saturday afternoon & spent half the day finishing it up, topped off fluids, made sure everything was tightened up. Took it for a spin early evening on Sunday, after chores...

QUICK VIDEO - CLICKY


I ended up running a couple studs with acorn nuts into the sides of the top windshield frame to keep it from swinging for now, seems to work well. I have a set of baby moons for the wheels, need to snap them on this week.

I love this damn thing.

Very cool! How did it drive & handle?

 

[rbsWELDER]

What is the story behind that license plate?

 

[PeppermintPatty]

thanks guys!

As far as handling, it feels SO MUCH better than it did. It's not grabbing any grooves, was worried about horror stories w/ the bias plys. I think it's just so light, it's not an issue w/ this car. I was planning on adjusting the toe-in after mounting these, but doesn't seem necessary. No front end chatter on bumps either.

The plate is about an old saying (maybe not too popular)..."2 tears in a bucket, mother fk'it". Which basically means, sh!t happens...life goes on.
