Been hoping you would post about the convertible when you got ready to fire it off. Be sure to get us a video if possible.

Well its broke in! Was not able to get a video yet, but will try to get a camcorder this week sometime. I still have to connect the shifter cable,driveshaft, bleed the brakes and connect the kick-down linkage at the carb.

Probably need to weld in the baffles in the header mufflers I used. They are the car chemistry 10" x3.5" turndowns and them puppies are LOUD!

Just set your digital camera to movie mode.
