Well the car is finished, but some sorting out as normal with the car. So it's not really finished, but with every rebuilt car, you have some teething pains. Although the teething pains on my car are light compared to what it was in the past. I picked up the car Friday from Campbell Auto with some instructions on how to treat it, and did just that. The car handles so much nicer then before, and they still have some stuff to do for it. The speedtech 1 inch hollow adjustable swaybar goes in this week, and along with some very light ride height changes, but will look the same. The cars power is (wow) much improved, but we could only take it to 5k, but pulls hard, very hard. The clutch has a problem, but again teething pains. I'm VERY happy at the job Campbell Auto Restoration has done to improve the car. So good in fact we took it to a few car shows this weekend and even won an award at the Bow tie bash on Saturday, then drove it over the hill on Sunday for the car show in Capitola. Here is a few pics from that.

Glad you are enjoying it Mike. I rec'd my Procharger also, so that is going in soon. Jason and Mike at Gearhead said your car sound wicked. Cant wait to see it again.

Hey Scott. It's all McLeod stuff. Twin disk. Has a fixed hydraulic throw out bearing, with a McLeod Bell housing. It has a problem with engagement, but the guys at CAR are fixing it, so no worries there.

Your car looks great out there, Mike. And it'll look even better when I park my crap next to it. Some day.... In the next 30 years or so...

The car looks great. Nice stance and I have to agree with Steve on the under hood shot. I especially like the pedal covers.:unibrow: Great job.:cheers:

I do have a video but it's very poor quality. Ill have something better this weekend. It does sound wicked with the dual 3 inch exhaust.
