    Took the car out for a test drive yesterday. Drove to Arizona and back about 350 miles. The car did great :bananaman getting 17.9 MPG. so far the only problem is a broken exhaust bracket. It connects the two pipes together 16 Ga was to light.

    Everytime I see this car, It gives me tremendous inspiration to continue my project. That car looks better than 99% of the cars you'll see on the street on any given day.
    WoW man....... WoW
