Sorry for the lack of updates, we've been out driving!

It's been two weeks, and its been a blast so far! We finished all but the headlight cover install. We went and visited all of the auto parts places to show them what we've been working on all this time.

We've been looking for little problems, and have found a few. The first time we took it into town, we separated the throttle cable from where it connects on the engine. We coasted into a parking lot and had it fixed in a couple of minutes.

We've had a persistent but very small coolant leak somewhere on the front of the engine. We also had a vibration that turned out to be a flapping piece of aluminum ductwork under the radiator. That was fixed yesterday with some thicker aluminum reinforcement and a bunch of rivets.

We finally got the speedometer working just this morning, so the odometer has started recording mileage.

We'll have to get some in-car footage soon, but for now here is some video my son shot while we were looking for the vibration that I mentioned. Link to video
