Re: 72 "The Blue Burb of Happiness" Project

I am finished for this year. The blue burb is ready for her maiden voyage to the NSRA Rockie Mountain Nationals in Pueblo Colorado. I still have some items I want to do like improve the sound system and build a custom transition between the dash and the console but nothing that will keep me from enjoying it this summer.

I did take a short 300 mile local trip for a shake down and averaged 17.5 mpg. It might do a little better as it gets broke in. I ended up putting KYB monotube shocks on all 4 corners and it rides like a dream.

A huge thanks to all the folks who gave me advice and helped with hard to find parts. This board is awesome.
