:eek: yeah it took a different path that i originally thought it would..

The under dash light works, it's just kinda dim. I was sitting in it last night in the dark garage absorbing and it looked pretty nice.

Seriously, you should enter it in a couple car shows before you start wheeling it. ;)

Thanks again guys, I'm real proud of it :)

Yeah currently working on better insurance! They ran it on the dyno and it didn't take long for them to realize I was pretty worried about it. They were super careful which was really nice..

I'm excited how clean it runs, hopefully it'll have a long life running like that!!!!

Yep tags while I wait on the classic plates! And it didn't even sting tooooo bad. $300 for the late fees (last registration was 2013) and 4 years!

Thanks guys I'm happy you guys think it's as sweet as I do :) that actually makes me feel pretty proud :)

Now I gotta chop chop on cleaning up the paint a bit before the appraiser comes by on Sunday. I'm going to do a agreed value policy with our regular insurer.
