I had a couple of minor fuel leaks and it was leaking oil around the filter some and needed to be tightend but other than that everything is going well. I'm not able to put the car into reverse until the transbrake is connected so I can do the initial break-in procedure on the rear end. Will be working on getting the IAC counts into their proper range so I don't have to sit in the car to hold idle.

Headed to Smiley's Racing for some more fuel.

I can now get the transbrake and the line lock wired up and do the initial break-in procedure on the MWC Fab 9. I'm so ready to sit this thing down on all fours and go pound on some pavement. Future plans for the car is to install a cage and a Kirkey racing seat while working on the body and finally paint. Never done paint and body but will purchase a paint gun and some Eastwood paint and just see how it goes.

Wired the transbrake in today and did the initial break-in on the rear end to set the wear pattern.

Not a bad beer and certainly better than the tranny fluid I was drinking.

I'd happily send all this Tennessee evening thunderstorms back your way if it would take the humidity with it......
