The few times that Richard had it out on the street, that thing rode like it had NO suspension at all under it. I followed him back from the muffler shop, after he had the exhaust system installed on it, that was most likely still on the car when Mark bought it, the rear tires were bouncing at times. I know it has some type of drag shocks on it, they might be locked up....Beware...

The car has all new wheel cylinders and a new master cyl. We did not change the shoes or machine the drums, it stopped plenty well. I'd get some new shoes and machine the drums, although the drums were obviously not worn that bad...LOL, most cars w/ approx. 200 miles on them shouldn't need new brakes.

Those headers are a pain to deal with!!! I'm guessing Mark is putting a stick back in car?

I never drove it, but rode in it

Update: Started my winter project of cleaning up the underside. I will make it nice but not too nice that I can not drive it. About ready to take the rear end out and the trans cross member. Other than dirt and oil she is awesome under there.

Glad to hear that, Jody.
