I think I could drive it for a while like this.
Well, everyone I have been busy and losing lots of sleep in my quest to have the Scratch Build on the road this fall as to finally get to enjoy all my hard labor. So today I realized the big finish climbed in turned the key and backed my baby out of the garage. It was a great feeling even if it never left the driveway ( I needed photos for the DMV / insurance) the first time the car has seen the light of day. The quest begins to get plates and insurance so I can put some shake down miles on the car before the snow flies. interior is not complete and will spend the winter getting to the carpet and stuff, the dash is rattle caned for now. Every custom interior guy I showed it to(3 total) didn't want to touch it (I got the hint) so if I want it covered I will have to do it myself.
Things I still need to do.
1. Scale the car to set up the suspension and lower the car to a good ride height.(this will involve new springs and probably at least one pair of new shocks)
2. Finish interior, sound mat, carpet, door panels, and find a way to cover the dash (I'm thinking about vacuum bag and really good glue)
3. Alignment, this will be sooner than later a good string job for the next couple of weeks and a really good job after suspension is worked out.
