Did some test driving today down some nice country roads after retiming Ally and readjusting the brakes. After the test drive I may have decided to do valves tomorrow (which means the timing gets redone again  ). The brakes feel WONDERFUL!!! Big improvement. |

Drove the 68 to the end of the driveway. First time it has moved under its own power in probably 15years or so. Engine seems to run real well and I was able to short shift to get into 3rd gear and all 3 were good and shifted good.

I drove Blu to Martin, then one 1/4 mile, and then home, but, it was the most fun I've had in Blu yet!!!

15.329 @ 85.84 MPH with a .0031 reaction time. I thought I blew the trans on the line, but, it turned out that the tires on Blu are made of a rare form of ice rubber that Wham-o has been expermenting with for their new "slip and slide"

Wow! Glorious day out there today. I took the Puma out today, dropped the top, and away I went. Used for a couple of appointments, gathered a small crowd of ne'er-do-well young boys in Haslett, visited the state capital downtown, which brought out a small group of very cute young ladies, :-) and then headed out for my final appointment in Mason. Almost 75 miles before I returned.
Fast trip on the highway, but the pig of plastic, (Puma) does seem to get pushed around a bit at high speed with very strong crosswinds. Guess it's easy to do when it only weighs 1400 lbs. It does require a little concentration.
It's supposed to be nice the next few days, so I really want to get out and have one last ice cream cone before she goes away.
