watching him transform it from a clean new model to the weathered patina is the coolest part....

So bad a$$!
 
Got the wiper switch wired up and I'm going to swap motors tonight at the club meeting.

I JT'ed the switch and he explained to me how the grounded switch works.

I have all the wiring Im likely going to do, done so I loomed everything up and it's time to drive it and see what shakes out.

See y'all tonight.

The drive to 49Tire was a bit weird. My front brakes started locking up. I was 1/2 there and decided to press on.

Got there and Rob popped my master off and adjusted the external rod in the booster.

Brakes released. All good.

80 mile round trip.

Gas and oil pressure work.

Checked temps when I pulled in. 180* perfect.

Drives excellent. Truly excellent.
