Well...........I have to take the car tomorrow and get the front end aligned........I won't get the seats back until Friday.........So.........I went in the basement and got a Chevelle Bucket seat and put it in the car so I could take it out for a quick Test Drive.....As soon as I pulled out of the Driveway I knew something was wrong as there was a banging coming from the rear of the car.......I pulled it back into the garage and put it back on the lift and started checking........Humm!!!!!........Ends up that the rear shocks are too short and are about a 1/4" away from full travel as the car sits.........Drove it to the gas station and filled it up.....that lowered the car enough to take the Banging away until I get the right Shocks.....Imagine that.......
But.........With the front end alignment pretty close by eye and going thru the gears slowly (Test Drive Only)........All I can say is "WOWZA"..........I can tell that this Engine has some "Grunt" behind it......also.. this is my first 4 speed car in 15 years.......Now I know why you "Guy's" like to shift........"Big Smile"......I'll post a lot of Before and after Pic's in a couple of day's...........

Ken
