    Your not that far from a first ride. It might not seem like it but if you keep the progress up it will happen before you know it.

    I had to slow down progress on the car for a few weeks due to moving, but here's a couple pics of it leaving its first garage, and on to its new home (only about 5 miles away). It was wierd seeing it out of the garage, but it sucked it was on a trailer! :eek: Started back in on it this week, I am in the wiring stage now, then hopefully, first ride soon!! :D

    It was awesome except my hydraulic TO bearing developed a leak after 6 miles, so it is back in the garage awaiting the trans to come out next weekend.

    Thanks! Finally got it registered The weekend before last. Still doing some fine tuning, but it is awesome to drive. I live in Southern Highlands (Jones and Cactus area).

    I did a 4" chop and channel, and I'm glad I didn't go any lower! :eek: It is bad-ass looking, but hard as hell to see traffic lights! If it wasn't channeled I would have taken 6" out of the top though! :D
