Excellent! I love that feeling deep in your gut when you drive a car that's faster than you've driven before.

            We buttoned up a few loose ends yesterday, and after 4 years I drove her. All I can say is "HOLY SH!!!!!!!!!!T"  It is a beast.    :yes:   Everything works as it should.  Driving her around knocked out my depression pretty quick.   :ohyeah: Next weekend puics and a write up.    :rebelflag"

These cars seem to be really good therapy!  Glad to see you out and about buddy!   :stayinlane: :banana:

          :rebelflag"  UPDATE    :rebelflag"  Well, weve been chasing down all the little gremlins and driving her a little. The new booster went bad and we changed it out today.  Anyway, many of you remember that we installed an electric A/C compressor when we built the car and today it got it's test out in 100 degree temps. Works outstanding.   :banana:  Compressor and all hoses, drier, etc are inside the right front fender, nothing showing under the hood except the condenser.  Going to get some pictures this week of all the little touches we added as we built her. Bringing her to Carlisle next year if it kills me.   :D

Funny I was just wondering how your A/C was working out for you , after sweating it out at Carlisle. Driving down in Murrays newer Challenger with A/C might have spoiled me some.... :rebelflag" :-[

Can't wait to see some more pictures. !  :popcorn: :takepicture:

Won't be long now.  Currently doing resets on the MSD electronic ignition system.  When that is finished, it will be road-test time.  Pictures coming soon.  :woohoo:

We put an electronic AC system in the car to keep all those ugly hoses out from under the hood.  But, this is Florida and AC is a necessity.  :yes:

Since we haven't put up any pictures on the work that was done, I thought I would add them here.  :wave:
