    Sounds great!  Isn't it wonderful to have open roads like that to test drive your car?

    Sounds great Steve.

    Your trip around the “block” has got to be about 6-7 miles out in farm country.

    I'm still working on my custom exhaust system. Wow, you must be having a extremely mild winter with no snow/salt on the ground this time of year. Sounds good!

    Really mild!  We had a couple of bad weeks in mid January.  I actually could have driven it in February but waited for a rain to wash some of the salt off the road.  We actually had a Tornado here about a mile from my house in February.  First one recorded in Wisconsin in February.  I got a pretty good video of it. Post some video when you get your 347 running!  I’m excited to hear what you think of yours.
