Shes finally done!!!!!!

[dovehunter79]

I spent around 30 hours thursday and friday and I got the old bird running and then went and got it inspected Saturday morning. I will be going to get my tags today or tomorrow so I can drive on the road legitimately. I left my digital camera at home so I will post some better pictures later. Here are a couple pics from my phone...

They don't require a windshield in Tejas?!?!

 

[dovehunter79]

No, but, if you have a windshield then you have to have wiper blades... if its 1960 and newer, you still dont have to have a windshield but you wipers have to work.

Man you are on the road and that all that Matters . BUT dove hunter you need a WS. that would really change the look . I think a Lay back WS would look supercool. You can make the posts your self. I really like how the fuel tank looks thats cool. Where are the Lakes???????

 

[dovehunter79]

I have the spirit windshield, I just need to get the glass... I didnt put it on because I didnt get a wiper blade and I couldnt get it inspected so I just left it off for the time being. I am going to send it a shop to get it put on in a couple weeks....

Since the lakesters wouldnt pass inspection, I borrowed those headers from a friend so I could pass inspection. TX laws stated that the end of the tail pipe has to be aft of the driver so i couldnt use them. I need to order some baffles for the lakesters before I put them on but as soon as they come in, the Lakesters will be on the car!!!

It drives so soft down the road and I am thoroughly impressed with it, I love watching the fron suspension while im driving down the road!!!

Jim Carey quote-Me, Myself, and Irene
It's a great time of year to ride,
Long as you don't mind one or two bugs.

Some tribes would consider that "breakfast".

Glad to see you finally made it, like they say, this is just the beginning, but it feels good to be riding, just use a helmet with a face shield, no bugs, Ride safe...

 

[rooster57]

Good one youngster "bughunter":rifle:
This is bug hunter before and after a rideilot:. HA HA

 

[dovehunter79]

Hell Tim, Im still not done... I just got it done enough so I can actually get it on the road and drive it. For example, the coilovers that I got are too short, I need longer ones but they work okay for now.


Thanks Guys for yalls help!!!!

 

[Ted Brown]

if your coilovers are too short, mount then farther forward, then they may be just right... Happy cruisn
