Car Outside for the First Time in 10 Years

Normally this would be added to the existing topic on this car and I'll add to it later but I thought it deserved a bit of a splash. I bought this in 2014 and it was in pieces by 2015. Transport is showing up in 30 days to bring it to Pebble. Distributor is coming out tomorrow to go on the machine now that Ed Minnie found the distributor specs. I'll do a topic on that too.

For today it was up and down the driveway in 1st & R. It is 90 degrees out and I forgot to open the hood vents but it didn't go over 180 which is a good sign.

AJ, the car looks great. I can't wait to see it with the Pacific Ocean in the backdrop. The color is perfect. Have you made a final decision about the wheels? More importantly, has Pam bought "the dress" and "the hat"?

John, right now I only have 4 wheels. I made the point yesterday that we HAD to get back the other two so at least we had a complete car. As time gets closer I will be less likely to worry about cosmetic issues and more worried about being able to do 80 miles and on/off the field sucessfully.

Have not mentioned any of that to Pam but the hat is a good point. There is a reason everybody is wearing those hats. You freeze your ass off at 7:00 AM and by Noon you are getting fried. Typically.
