After getting the side glass installed we took it out for a little cruise and stopped for a couple photos. We made a 100 miles round trip yesterday and it drives very nice. I will definitely need to change the rear gearing or bite the bullet and put an overdrive transmission in it, 2900 rpm doing 60 mph
