I'm going to bed tonight with a sh!t happy grin on my face!!! :dogpile:

She DROVE under her OWN power tonight after 4 of my buddies and I put the new converter in and put things back together.... what a RUSH!! :driving: :driving: :driving: :driving: :driving:

I will get pictures tomorrow outside if the rain holds off (thankfully, it did tonight!)... she still needs QUITE a bit of tuning, but, as it stands right now, I will MOST likely be driving her to the show on Sunday (provided the weather holds for that too...)

So, if everybody can wait until tomorrow evening... then ya'll will get to see some pics of her OUTSIDE!! :drool: :drool: :driving: :driving: :driving:
