It's almost everything I wanted. Once I have the Dynatek (or TWM) on there, then it'll be everything I wanted.

Scott, thanks for your help answering my questions over those many months.

Doug, wouldn't you be worried about the maiden voyage? I thought I would take it on some short trips around the neighborhood first,then widen my range from there as I build confidence.

Hey Rodney,

Before you pick it up, go to DMV and tell them you want a one day moving permit so you can bring it to the office to get the initial inspection. Just remember to bring your paperwork on the purchase price and the install costs of the engine and trans. You'll be done in one day, and have a legit TOP for at least 90 days which should get you through the BAR mess.....and now that we have a State budget, BAR should be back in operation no prob. And you have the CHP inspect before BAR as well. Can't wait to see you in it!!

I'm also talking to Tom Hank at Dynatek about my engine's cam and whether or not it will work. He's looking into it.

Tom

Rodney,

Before I took delivery of my car, I went up to Reno and drove it for half a day to make sure everything was OK. I found a few things that needed to be tweaked/fixed before I took delivery. The second time I drove my car, was from Sacramento to Santa Cruz.

My thinking was that if you put a few miles on it near where Hall is located and you had questions or found an issue, they could take a look at then (vs. having to bring the car back). Just a thought.
