Would you drive your new car 2000miles

Just the little expected things like re-torque of wheels or header bolts after a few heat cycles can grow into bigger issues if not completed. If I had the ability to shake it down with a few hundred miles and then just look her over I would go for it just for the trip. All items have a small percentage of failure and it takes many many parts to build a car so how lucky do ya feel? Nothing meant about any builder but all header bolts need to be checked regardless of who installed them. Checking all out after it heat cycles and a few miles just makes sense to catch a loose bolt before it becomes a problem.

Do it, just plan the trip through populated areas. Maybe get some names of people along the route that could help if needed.
Enjoy the car....

Where you gonna park overnight? I'd only be concerned about security and weather if the builder is reputable...yeah, some things might break, but they might not. Are you a fairly good mechanic? It would certainly be a helluva hoot!
