    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:
