This was in Dec 08. I had actually come to a point where after a year and a half I could actually drive it! So I did... So sue me! Good thing I did. I found that the cam was WAY too hot. Took off like a banshee but not enough vacuum to run anything... including my new power disc brakes. Lesson learned and new cam ordered. Going to learn how to install a cam I guess.
I bolted the right fender on temporarily to hold the radiator support in place for the test drive. You can literally feel the suspension upgrades. It was friggin AWESOME!!!! Handled like a dream and had so much power it actually surprised me!!!! Think it scared the wife when I hit the gas and we did a rather nice burnout then took off like a bat out of hell... the interesting part was trying to stop it with little to no brakes. Had to gas it to keep vacuum up while hitting the brakes. Now THAT was interesting!
Did I mention how friggin killer she sounds with the Pypes Performance Race Pro stainless exhaust? Yeah.... my neighbors knew I was out on a test drive. Had one come over when he heard me drive by to see how it went.
Back into pit lane after a successful shakedown run around the block. My neighbor said it was more of a qualifying run... HAHAHA! For some reason I love this shot. Love the lines of this car and this shot just highlights them. Simple but timelessly gorgeous. I like it better than the 69 even... I know... I know... you 69 guys out there are going to hunt me down and torture me till I take it back.
OK... so perhaps we haven't finished the race yet but the Crew Chief and I had to celebrate the year and a half long process.
