Insured and Licensed now, get to use 72' Kentucky tag. 

Just need to get the alignment in the ball park, prolly play with the front end over the rest of the winter?

Been driving around the 'hood doing a little shake down.  :burnout:
Took pictures for the Insurance co.  :picture:
Filled up the gas tank and found out my grommet to filler neck was leaking, all I can say is it's fixed now!  :2thumbs:
Today I loosened all the alignment adjustment hardware and surprise it's free.  :working:
