Re: Resto up-date

Took delivery and will put up pics tomorrow. Rained from the minute I got the car into My shop.

Yep, there's a rule about that; conversely, if you'd just bought a boat, there's be a drought! ;)

Impressions? I'd keep the first few shake-down cruises relatively close to home, and pack your cellphone (and AAA card) in defense of Murphy's Law. After long periods of inactivity, even newly serviced items can deliver unexpected surprises (nothing against Kaye & Tom, just a fact of nature regarding mechanical devices).
 
Re: Resto up-date

oops I really wrote that incorrectly, it stopped raining when the truck started to unload the car and didn't rain til the second I pulled it into the shop. lol Tom put 150 miles on the car after He finished and no problems so far. If it would stop raining I would get some new pics and try to finish the engine break-in miles.
 
Re: Resto up-date

O.K. Troops, It finally stopped raining and I've put about 120 miles towards the engine break-in. Here She is.
