Went for a road test today. I haven't aligned it yet, I only eyeballed the toe. It rode pretty nice. No weird handling at all. The gearing is nice and high, the full synchro tranny is a treat, as is the power steering. I opted to keep the brakes without power for now and so far they seem fine. The 396 has triple the power of the 250 and I can feel it. It'll fry the tires easily.

I've still got a lot to do, but at least now I can drive it.
