Shake Down Cruise

[rsavage]

About five months after getting my shell back, and I year and a half since I sent the shell to body and paint, the 69 went for its first shake down ride of about 15 miles. I had an upper radiator clamp weeping a little, needed to add some PS fluid, and I needed to install a stiffer throttle return spring. It ran good, rode like a Blazer rides, and stopped well. I'll readjust the shoes now, look things over underneath and check bolts for tightness. I used an aluminized heart throb exhaust with their turbo mufflers. Sounds okay but I would have preferred 40 series as they are not as deep as I like. Few more adjustments and tweaks and it will be ready to roll.
