Thank you all for the good advice. These are all things to look for when it comes to making sure that the car is mechanically sound. I have driven this car before but it has been 2.5 years and has since undergone a complete remodel. This go around the car is somewhat respectable and will travel in excess of 85 miles per hour so I'm trying to take it a little more seriously. Since it was stripped down to literally the bare frame I want to make sure to check everything accordingly. It sounds like I should check it, check it again, check it again, drive it a short distance and resume the checking process. That seems like the safest way to go. Let me know if anything else comes to mind and again thank you for all of your input.
