We are steadily making progress on Zach's car. We've installed new weatherstripping throughout, but we need to get the windows adjusted to stop the leaks. We got his headers and exhaust done, but I'm afraid it is too loud. Oh well, it is legal for now.

Last night Zach got to drive the car for the first time. He practiced taking off from an idle, without giving it any gas. He got the hang of that fairly quickly, but the old clutch is so wasted that smooth take offs are almost impossible. We pulled the car into the garage last night and pulled the transmission out of the car. Tonight we will remove the bell housing and the clutch. I have a new LUK clutch set and flywheel waiting to install, so hopefully we can get it mostly done tonight. After that we need a set of tires and an alignment. This thing is all over the road right now, but all of the steering components are new so an alignment should have it straightened out and driving right.
