Re: [AMC-list] A small milestone

Great news!  
Uh, be careful with the neighborhood cruises. Buddy of mine took one with a Mazda truck he had just bought and somebody pulled out in front of him. Other drivers fault, but since the Mazda was not transferred to his name, no tags, no insurance. The cops threw the book at him. 
  Crap load of fines, they took the truck and auctioned off. To top it off my buddy lost his license for a YEAR. 
   The other driver was cited for failure to yield. 

    Every time during my American build that I thought about a quick test cruise, I think of my buddy and hold off until I at a minimum have insurance. 

  Still, great to get that first drive in!  I'm curious to see how the exhaust works out. I did swap measurements for the stang tank in mine. IIRC depending on how far back the tank ended up there might be room for a crossover muffler and hook a tail pipe over the right leaf. You may be able to fit the classic stuff? I had a glass pack mounted in crossover on my 63 Classic and instead of the hook exhaust I used an elbow and ran a 2" pipe to the back bumper with a chrome tip. It was so quiet I was disappointed! Being 17. Glass pack was a real Cherry Bomb. Engine was the 196. 

   All just idle thoughts from a tired guy at the end of the start of fall semester. I never in a million years dreamed I would spend 8 YEARS in college. No degree in the works either. Instead they just pay me? Go figure...

Subject: [AMC-list] A small milestone

A small milestone was reached this weekend.  My 65 Rambler went for a short drive in my neighborhood under it's own power.  It's the first time it's been on a public road since 1986.   Still needs a muffler and to be registered.   To do yet:  1, fix the sagging headliner (upholstery shop covered the fiberglass headsliner with heavy vinyl and it sags.  2. Paint the gas cap and spare wheel to match the car 3. Hook up the reverse lights  4. Refinish the package tray and install new speakers and covers.  4. Get the exhaust system finished.  5. Trailer it to the DMV or get a P.O.to come by my home for a VIN inspection, then register it.
