We made it through inspection yesterday with out to
much that we had to to the car.
We had to put and extra belt in the car to give a
stragiht pull down on the shoulder straps and a
several extra hose clamps.
The time consumer was we had to take nearly all of the
skin metal off the front of the car to attache the
saftey belt. The good nes is we are all back together
and we will be heading to the salt in an hour for me to
make my first lisc. pass and start my step up by 25 mph
at a pass untill be get to the cars potential.
I must say that I was guite apprehensive about MY
bailout test but I made it even thought they through in
a coupla things for me to do that I hadn't rehearsed.
20 seconds flat.--wow what a reliefe now I can drive
and get my competention lisc today. wmts 5:30 AM
