Default drove the car

lol, down the street and back, still doesnt have exhaust, although were getting it on wednesday, and its all aligned, man that thing is a ****in beast. i didnt want to give it too much gas and take off, and almost killed it, but then gave it a little to much and took off, in reverse (was backing out of driveway) so i went down the street, and with the old motor, second gear got you down the street at just the right speed, well i shifted into second, and was goin way too fast, so i shifted into neutral and coasted to where i was gonna turn around, (theres a street that intersects with mine) but couldnt make a comlete U turn, because there was a parked car. so i backed it, and went back to my house, it was awesome the thing is a rocket. the brakes are a little soft, and i dont know why, im gonna check it, but it floors before you get any stopping power, and after that, you get a little. But, the thing is almost done, all thats left is exhaust, I CAnT WAIT.

Sounds like an air bubble in the brakes. Hopefully it isn't a bad master.

Isn't that a great feeling when you finally get to drive what you've worked on so hard for so long? Almost ranks up there with sex.

did you use rubber or steel braid lines but it sounds odd do you got drums in the rear if they are out of adjustment that can do it too
