Many THANKS, guys and I CERTAINLY will be VERY CAREFUL driving her!!! Still amazed at how quick the car is with only a small block 302 in it. Car cruises at 70 MPH on the freeway in 5th and is only turning around 2200 RPM. I have some quirks to figure out (like the annoying rattle coming from the passenger side muffler when taking off - the noise is intermittant and seems to be RPM dependant since it goes away after I reach a certain RPM or back off the throttle and I HAVE to get the driver's seat to move forward at least 2" because I have short legs and pushing the clutch pedal far enough to engage/change gears is a real effort - in fact my left calf was SORE after I drove her home Friday
( I also, for asthetic reasons, want to add the hood and deck emblems, a wood steering wheel (recommendations??), hood and deck dummy latches AND, of course a roll bar (stainless). I'd have prefered traditonal guages, but the Autometer one's I have are so well located and easily readable that I'll most likely just stay with them. I'd also like one of the forward bent original style shifters, BUT I don't know if I can put one in this car yet (clearance problem??). Later on I'll worry about increasing the HP with 351W or trick heads, intake, etc., etc. I'm VERY, VERY happy with the car as is, BUT I really want to get those things I mentioned added "post haste" THANKS AGAIN for all the kind comments and recommendations (concerns) about my safety!! I have NO INTENTION on racing this car, although I do like to go fast in a straight line (my other toy is my 1969 4 spd HEMI SuperBee and it's not slow either - 410's with @600 HP
