You pushed down on your right foot and it went forward....That's a pretty big deal in my book. Congratulations!

Thanks everyone, headed up to Clint's last night and today go get the clutch installed and trans back in his car. Then came back home and put my radiator back in and the cooling system blead. Took it for a quick spin down the street and back. Hope to call the insurance company and actually drive it on monday. Plan to weigh it next week and get springs on order.

Very impressive, just saw video!!!! You must be a workin' machine... Looks 'roomier' than the baja.

You'll have to take a selfie of yourself driving it down the freeway

So I got the car weighed and have a rough idea of the springs. I need to pull the rears off and see what they are. I think I can use at least 1 pair up front. That will happen next week. I also seem to have a tiny pinhole in the core of the radiator at the top so a new one is inbound. I will think I will also bleed the brakes again just to be safe. After that back to Clint's so he can Tig the little tabs on the arms for the brake lines then for some testing. Can't wait. So far it really seems to get with it.

Small update, got springs on it ant took it for a 9 mile cruise around town. Temp gauge stayed around 200 so that was good. We did feel quite abit of heat swirling back up to the cab so some more tin work may be in order above the engine. Also, the front end frlt pretty soft over large bumps at slow speeds, so i turned down the secondary lock ring to get on the stiffer spring sooner. Hopefully i can find some more springs at the swap meet. Front now is 200 over 350. Thinking a 250 or 300 should be the ticket. When on the gas though it floated over rougher terrain. Lots of rutted dirt roads here in Ramona. The rear felt pretty good, have not played with any valving or thr bypass valves, figure i will get it in the desert for that. Also there are some fenders in the works, hopefully have them mounted in the next week or two. Now for the good news, with a rear tire swap it actually fits backed into my toyhauler. Bad news is that my gas dually probably wont to it so its gunna get sold and the truck upgraded to a diesel.
