20 years of dreaming, 10 planning and sourcing, 3 doing (and $pending!)... she's home.
Spin around the block in the full rego fun-mobile... hard to keep the rubber on the road with the OEM tires and torqe-y 390/445 stroker!
A few more final setup/config issues to sort out now that the engine oiling issues are sorted and she's a runner. Alignment, some brake tweaks and some minor interior/trim and electrical gremlins (oil light is always on in the tach, but pressure is 70 psi....).
But home and driveable!

The big arse Ridgeback doesn't look too please Mert, you have taken up all his room.

Well done Mert. You build very nice cars.
I will someday think of something clever to say.

That is exciting Mert. Did any of my fastback parts get a second life in this vehicle?
