So dust off those whiskey glasses, boys and girls (but no drinks yet) -- I have an appointment with the muffler shop to get the exhaust installed on the Tunebug next Tuesday (4/27)!
Weather cleared quite nicely by the time I got home today, so I fired up the Tunebug for another testing run, and stopped by the muffler shop while I was out (it's just a few miles down the road). They can do the work on Tuesday, and I had already cleared the date with my boss. Weather is supposed to be clear as well. Shop opens at 8:00 am, and I'll be there right on time.
If all goes well I'll get the inspection and registration done the same day. Woohoo!
On a side note, the Tunebug held 60+ oil pressure and 180 water temp for the 20 or so minutes I was driving around. No major leaks seen yet, just a few here and there to track down. So far so good. Still need to set the timing properly, but it is close enough to be running okay.
So y'all will need to have glasses ready for Tuesday night. I consider registering the car to be the end of this 3-year project. Certainly still lots to do to have everything dialed in properly, and many more things that need attention (like some bodywork, the rear suspension...) as these cars are never really *done*, but getting back on the road is, for me, the critical benchmark. I'll finally be a car owner and not just a project slave. Keep in mind that I've never had a properly running LBC, so I'm ready to get out there and drive!
