Adjusted the clutch,parking brakes,bled the brakes and put the driveshaft back in today.Still can not take it for a spin yet.Too loud and no exterior lighting .Borrowing a buddy's trailer Friday and going to the muffler shop to get the full exhaust installed.Might just take the car on the trailer to a lonely stretch of road by my work and try it out.

When I drove it for the first time after the engine rebuild 22 years ago,I got the shakes.Maybe from the adrenalin or nerves.I expect the same this time and more.This time it has a new clutch.Anyone else ever had this feeling?

Awesome job on the resurrection. Way to stick with the project. I have had many jobs over the last 10 years which included a relocation from the west coast to the east coast. I kept my Chally the whole time. Still remember trying to explain to my wife why I needed to crate up the roller and move it along with us. Made no sense but I did it. Still have the car, but the wife.........
