'74 swinger project

1st drive....learned a few things:

1st and formost make sure the damn gas gauge is actually freakin accurate. Talk about a bummer :( Thankfully I was able to not sit and wait on the side of the road, rolled into a huge entrance to a subdivision and called for gas.

Once that bit of silliness was over :burnout::burnout:

Temps never climbed above 190, oil pressure looked good, charging system performing as it should. Oil temp gauge not working, need to get fuel pump control back onto ECU (bypassed when trying to figure out early issues). Need to take apart the column and figure out WTH is binding up the ignition key (flaming river column, you'd think for the $ it wouldn't act like a POS with s sticky switch).

Seatbelts....must install seat belts.

Getting used to the clutch will take a few more drives but this was expected.

For the fun, well, 1st is complttely useless :burnout:, pulls like a freight train in 2-4, not really trying lost the tires for a sec going for 4th :D Brakes haul it down nicely but need to readjust the hell out of the ebrake.

Handles way better than I thought it would, a couple of nce s-turns at 60 and never felt like I needed to lift. This was really cool given the weight on the nose with this setup. Need to get it over scales to see how it sits and adjust from there.

The punch list is getting short now! TIme permitting it'll be done enough to fully enjoy in two-three weeks. I won't say it's done ever, well, because it never is!
