Default First drive

Got my new radiator today and took the chassis for
his first drive around the block!! Never went over 190 degrees
He shifted well but might need Tilly adjusted a tad

The looks I got from people. Priceless!!!

I did like the attention of people going "what the hell is that???" Just need some tweeks. My steering as discussed in another post, the column rises up and down while turning. It is new with new worm installed so the shaft is not bent. I ordered a new sector as everything else was restored. just need to tighten brakes a little more then ponder this "Blindback" body. Good thing I posted pics here because I had zero idea. Thanks, guys!!!!!!!
