mine been in a shop for 4 months. and now driving it slowly is a killer. but next week she takes another trip to the shop. and thats the body shop. want to get it cleaned up and the a fresh coat of black. then its off to the apolstry shop to get my drivers seat done and the head liner. then from there off the the garage and put to sleep till next spring.. thats my plan for her.

Glad to hear that you finally got it running. I was thinking of the problems you had the other day, and wondering if you had ever got it figured out or not.

To drive it around slow would be tough, especially after all the waiting, i would imagine. But it sounds like you should be ready to go soon enough. I'm going to guess that it will feel like it was totally worth all the headache, once you can really run it!
