It flat gets with it

Well, Roger took it out for a spin and this car is fast..[]

He didn't take it far as the front end needs to be aligned and
he was sitting on a milk crate. [:0]

Only a week and a half before I drive it in our local parade.

Then it's off to the upholsterer to finish the inside. [^]

I imagine especially compared to your truck! Hopefully you will not have to sit on the milk crate in the parade. Glad to see the progress Jon, can't wait to see it in person.

An old drag racer told me once (as I was squaring a chassis with string)...
"If the front end is in the air, alignment isn't all that important"[}]

It'll be a weird day when the LS1 is considered the belly button motor, and a small block Chevy is vintage and traditional. But I suppose it may happen.
Jon you are going to have some serious fun with this car.

Belly button motor = Small Block Chevy "Everybody has one".

Jon, we'll have to take each other for a ride and compare.
