Well, I picked up the goat at Gary's place this afternoon. He has been tweaking a couple things that have just never gotten finished. A/C is working now, however it is 60 degrees here today so not much need for that. We finally got the gas tank leak fixed. Such a simple fix but a real PITA to get to. Replaced a bad grease seal in the rear and stopped the leak. Speedo is working and seems accurate. Nothing earth moving, just the little annoying things all fresh cars do. I have two weeks now before heading south to Kissimmee for the Power Tour. I am determined to drive it the entire trip, so I have to put some miles on it to be sure we have everything fixed. I know it sounds boring, but well someone has to do it. I am hoping for some good weather this weekend.
Oh, I stopped by Scot's (Boosted6)place on the way home. He is almost ready for the trip to Bowling Green this weekend. His car, while not much changes to the uneducated is really looking good. All the new parts under the hood are going to surprise some unsuspecting prey. I just hope he doesn't end up getting a ticket or two this weekend.:D I know I could not drive that far, and not have to prove a point or two here and there, if you know what I mean. Anyway, spring is definately here, get the cobwebs off your ride and get your ass in the seat. Ride baby ride.

Scot be sure and get us some time slips while you are there. I am wondering how much all the improvements helped. I love the new exhaust note too.:thumb:

My bumper fillers NEVER did come in and was promised to be there when I got there and have my money refunded for the hassle. SO, Needless to say I got them and my money and was installing them on friday then saturday was the eliminations so I got to work on my car at the show instead of enjoy the show! Perfect! I'll get the drag radials on and when we head to the track to tune it I'll give you a call. The car drove great!! 80mph with the cruise on and a/c:thumb: As far as the photo's of the event goes, I'm awaiting the pic's from everyone there for a good set to send you. Should'nt be long.

He didn't. He has his beloved Buicks on the brain.

Thanks anyway.
