Finally A Great First Drive!!

Well after 7 years and untold hours of labor, it was running and driving! The first go at it resulted in a stuck thermostat that almost blew the motor up! Nothing sucks worse than seeing all that hard work covered in antifreeze with only 34 miles on it!! Everything was fine then all of a sudden the temps went crazy and messy! Its hard to believe a $9.96 part could cause so much work and frustration. Still have a small list of gremlins but at least I wasn't parked on the side of the road! I feel like a nerd driving with ear plugs BUT WOW she is LOUD! It wasn't as blazingly fast as I thought it would be but probably more street able than I thought it would be. I'll try and post some pics later. Thanks, Matt
