In case you didn't believe all of those other guys, Dozer, you have a great looking car, and it seems to drive very nicely too.
Keep up the good work.

That's very important, especially if you have a few years on ya. If it is too uncomfortable and ill handling, a person quits driving the hot rod. Seen it many times.

Agreed bob.
Why people build cars that are really nearly undriveable is a mystery to me.
I know that they go for the "Cool" factor but to me the cool part is being able to get in it and take it down the road with out feeling like 3 lbs of #$#%^ stuffed in a one pound bag that's been shook like by a British Nanny.
Not to mention not being able to see out of them as it's been way over chopped.
Now....
Having said that.
Even back in the OG days custom car guys liked to take a wingman(Or Gal) along as a spotter.
I guess I'm just getting old and cranky. At least for today. [ddd

You are correct, my Essex was comfortable but very drafty and loud, any drive over 15-20 minutes required hearing protection.

Update time, I have put just under a 1000 k on the car. Yesterday was it's longest trip so far went up to Swift Current 250k rounder. The only issues I have had is a noisy electric fuel pump on start up when the engine is hot and a starter that acts up once in a while when the engine is hot. The car rides and handles better than I hoped for, it's a joy to drive.

That's awesome news Glen! How much sand was on the road in Swift? I was there 10 years ago this week - the streets were like driving on the beach, and the dust was incredible.

Thanks Bill, the streets and dust were just as bad as you remember, I pulled out from a stop sign turning left, gave the old girl a little to much throttle and almost went around.

The only solution that I can see for you Dozer, is you give me that Big Block Dodge engine and I'll give you a flat head six that'll be more manageable, ---- for a guy your age.

Congratulations on a good long shakedown run.
