A few pics of my baby in the sun for the first time.
You are gonna be getting a lot of attention if you take it to a car show, on the way and when you get there. Nice work buddy.
A week or so ago I was planning on some neighborhood driving to do some shakedown but before I got out of the driveway I realized several issues that have now been addressed.
First: The car seemed to low and my driveway is pretty steep so I adjusted the ride height 1.25 inches above what the manual shows. My biggest concern is my oil pan hangs an inch or so below the frame.
Second: The go and whoa pedals were too close, when I went to apply the brakes my fat foot was hitting the go pedal. A new lower and further right bracket for the go pedal solved that problem.
Third: The car is hard to see out of and I had no outside mirrors so I added these for now.
. I may change the brackets but for now they'll suffice.
Fourth: The drivers door was very difficult to open from the inside. After securing everything and readjusting for the 500th time the door fits and opens with just a finger.
Perhaps if this weekend is nice I'll move the Fairlane and do a little neighborhood terrorizing.
