On the road again

Well I drove it tonight. Put about 8 miles on it running to the gas station and back. All I have to say is

It drives about like a modern Infinity sports sedan. Exacty what I was after. The trans shifts super smooth too. The gearing I went with 3.73 is perfect with the overdrive. Now all it needs it about 200 more HP for some real fun.

You DID have the top down, right??

Congrats to you for all that hard work made into years of driving pleasure.
I may copy your front susp mods to my car whenever that time arrives (when the next wheel falls off )...
When i get back from vacation on the 15th, I will have to come see the final work of art!
Time to change your sig pic to a 'finished' photo!

I see your 455 buildup thread in my crystal ball...
