Talking 1st test drive after resto
noyhing more satisfying than getting to do 1st test drive on 4yr resto,feels good to drive what you have put a lot of work into.no problems surfaced yet but there is always some tweeking lurking somewhere.just need to put a few small pieces on and do final buff then finally done woohoo!!!
