And off we goooooooooooooo!
« on: May 10, 2010, 03:27:28 PM »
Well, she was loaded up early this morning and now sits patiently at the shop awaiting the other side of leaf springs.

The first set arrived at 2pm and I ask and pleaded with the UPS man to come here 1st thing in the morning to drop off the other side.

Also I included a shot of Frank putting the brake back in.

Whether or not the springs make it on time is secondary......you've got a great husband!

I do, and thank you!  Frank has put his heart and soul into this car so that it will be safe and mechanically sound for the run and future shows/runs!

Awesome! I hope all goes well with the swap! I just did the same thing to my car last week (except I swapped the rear end while I was at it to a disc rear). I can not believe how much better it rides!

Heidi that car of yours looks HOT even on a trailer......
Wicked classy little touch with the Bandit run window insignia!

You guys are gonna look so cool going down the highway on the BR and have some serious FUN!

It'll all come together for ya, you'll see.
Just be sure and take lots of great pics for us cyber-runners back home.....

Thanks again everyone!

Yeah, that decal is what all of us runners will have on the windshield.
Came with the package from Restore a muscle car.

Well, off to work I go now!
