On the road…
Got the car out for a short drive this afternoon. I discovered I still have some bugs to work out, but all in all, it seems to run very well. I won't take it up over 40 until I get a 100 or 200 miles on the new engine, so can't really test the high end speeds.
I do think I need a better carburator though. It is seeping gas out around the bowl and I suspect the float isn't right. Also the front brakes pull to the left and feel a little spongy. If those are the only mechanical issues, I'll feel lucky.
Here are some pictures taken today in the full sun.





I still need to have a top well cover made to finish it off, but it has come a long way!
