ULTIMATE GL car is on the road
 

After 1.5 years in my shop, I finally got to DRIVE my car this weekend. Took it around the block a few time to try and seat the new brakes. I've never had a car this fast. Right rear suspension is a little low, so I couldn't really get on it without rubbing the tire on the fender, but I can fix that.

Just need a few more days to sort out the brake lights and get it alligned.

Best of all, I got to wash a years worth of dust off the car. :D

that's great news. glad to hear it. guess i know what you are driving to the June VKG event. :D

yep, especially since the vert left today with a new owner. Camper has been sold, got someone looking at the 67 bug next weekend, and hopefully an interested party in the 75 bus. Making space incase we have to bolt town in the near future.

So far, looks like I may keep the 65 bus a while. Was thinking of turning micro into panel, but I may go the other way and add some more windows for the delux look, be different.
