The Roach

You can also get fold down dams on some. I've never really looked at them, can they be "quick pinned" in place? But we digress... lol... more car pics, smoke show next.. LOL

Hoping for a front end alignment tomorrow.

Hoping for a front end alignment tomorrow.

It's good to have hope.

 

[Richard Cranium]

Had my buddy do an alignment at my house today.

Took the car for its first test drive around the block, in the rain, & the alignment is spot on. Got a couple noises that I have to figure out what they are. Once the roads dry up tomorrow, I'll give it more of a test drive.

A bolt/nut tightening check?

The last picture is toe check, if that's what you mean.

I like the wheels & tires choices

a lil' bling & a touch of class

Back from the exhaust shop. Next up is to get an alignment and get the a/c charged.

Good luck,
& hopefully nothing too serious, & hope for easy fixes
The car looks great

You drove a car that nice in the rain?

SEE guys? No need to be afraid of a little rain!

It's not the rain I'm concerned with, it's those slick road conditions and other drivers I get nervous about.

I live in what's considered a rural area and I just made a 1-mile loop to check the alignment and didn't push it, but with the little gas I did give it, I can tell that it's going to be pretty quick.

BTW, that Snap On alignment level goes back to the 1950s & is stored in its original wooden box.

To check whether nuts/bolts loosen up or weren't tight after the first dry run.

I used an alignment system like that when I was young.

Looking foward to seeing it in July.

That’s a long trip for you from Hawaii.

 

[r4sedan]

All I can say is Brilliant. I love the car RC. I wish I had one just like it.

I agree, but the tent activities make it worth while.

Gave the car a wash today to clean off 5 months worth of dust and finally get the blue protective covering off of the tires.

Unfortunately, it was one of those days here where we had light on and off sprinkles, so I didn’t get to drive it, but I got the rest of the interior trim in instead.

She no longer calls it the roach. Once I get some shakedown miles on it, I’ll have to take her for a horror ride.
