Thanks guys!

I did some running around with it yesterday, it's sure running well. With the 165 thermostat and all the airflow I have it's sure running cold, I couldn't be happier. With the 455 I don't have to break 1/4 throttle to get it to move quickly .

I'll take it to a local cruise night tonight, finally

When you don't know what you're doing, it's best to do it quickly.

And when I’m gone, you can call me foolish but hopefully not boring. I will have lived.

The more I learn about women, the more I like my car.

Well, took the truck to Goodguys Spokane in August. We took the scenic route getting there, and I think I put at least 2600 KM (~1600 miles) during the trip. My truck now has over 6100 KM (~3800 miles) on it in a year that it has been on the road. I had a few minor issues during the trip but most are solved or will be soon.

I had some vapor lock problems, but when it's +35°C, sitting in traffic, and the electric fan is working all the time, it all contributes to lots of heat. Hopefully now that I fixed the fan this won't be as much of an issue.

In two weeks I'll be taking off to Radium with it for their fall show.

Thanks Torchie.

I had a neutral safety switch issue that was easily solved but resulted in me missing the ferry and having to wait another hour and a half.

I just need to install my cruise control and work out a couple small bugs for the next trip. I'll probably put on another 1400 km on it going to radium

Hi Snopro, Congrats, on going to Spokane.
A buddy of mine from Grande Prairie, Carman Sipe, roared down to Spokane with a group of you guys, also. I wonder if you met up with him. He drove a hand built '65 black Mustang fastback. He sold me my '36 pick up about 15 years ago.
I always wanted to go on one of those rod runs.

I wasn't on the Western Canada Powercruise so he didn't cruise down with us, and I don't recall his car, but I'm sure I probably saw it at the show. We took the scenic route down via Golden, Nakusp, Nelson, Creston, etc. The Powercruise guys missed all the garage tours Thursday, which were awesome!
