Default First Shake Down Flight (Cruise)

Well the NJ weather cooperated today. Hit 57 degrees. So we took the P-51 out for its initial shake down cruise. Thanks to the guys at ERA for sprucing up our 11 year old car and for Ron and Pedro for the transformation. We were out for about an hour and a half and everything worked great. Tonya was like a kid on Christmas with the open header switch. Love that rumble when the exhaust is wide open!

Ron - I did find the oil leak behind the dash. Was the oil pressure gauge line. Only took 6 hours and three trips to the auto parts store. Good thing I started early this morning working on it!
