I got the alignment done Monday and took it on the maiden voyage. It was only 14 miles but it ran flawlessly. The wife and I drove it to Des Moines yesterday to pick up the carpet and defroster hose kit from my parts guy. (150 mile round trip) Took 2 lane secondary roads going and interstate coming home. Runs great, shifts great, rides great, and has lots of power. How could a guy ask for any more than that....

Now I need to concentrate on paint and interior.

Congrats ,turned out nice.

**Ol Blue K20** · 09-03-2015, 08:21 AM

Congrats on the successful first trip. It looks great in the driveway too.

Congrats on the build and round trip. It is always interesting how much jitters one can sometime feel on the first trip, and that relief, excitement and confident when you return ok.

No paint Shawn, but I did get a fresh coat of primer on it. Finished that up this morning. Update below....

OK, last update for now.

Carpet is in, front and back, wire loom done, re-stitched and installed my maroon visors, 3 point seat belts installed, Glove box door painted and it and GB liner installed, defroster hoses installed, and a fresh coat of light grey primer. I told Mama I wanted it to look good when it was sitting on the side of the road...

.. She didn't see any humor in that...

Oh, and I had to put a new water pump on the LS1. I ordered it last Friday and it didn't come in until Tuesday.

Looks really good Leon! I have confidence you won't be sitting by the side of the road.

**Dieselwrencher** · 09-10-2015, 08:48 PM

It looks great Leon! Have a great trip and enjoy the show!

She probably remembers the last time you pulled that trick. Gee honey, looks like we are having car troubles. Good thing we have that big back seat...

Jbsweezy · 09-10-2015, 09:29 PM

Looking Good, what color are you planning on finishing it with?

**LockDoc** · 09-10-2015, 09:38 PM

Nice, That will look pretty clean. I just was going back through the rest of this post and was no joke considering attaching a winch to the floor since I have the same incline issue and no one to help me out. Now it's definitely going to happen ha ha.

**Ol Blue K20** · 09-10-2015, 11:11 PM

Looks good, have a great trip and a great time. Zero roadside time...lol

Love that thing. Looks great Leon.
