Did you get the tires online and a good deal for all 4? Or did you get them locally?

Cobra Jet,

I got them local. A friend of mine at a small shop offered me a competitive price. Hopefully this next weekend I can take it for a 30 minute ride or so and really begin to enjoy this thing.

So, heater core replacement is almost done. Definitely a painful job for someone as inexperienced as I am. I’m still getting a few drops from the drain hole. I’m hoping that’s just residual in the heater box. The heat definitely blows hot and no more smoke/steam from the vents and dash. Still hoping to replace the rear main before Foxtoberfest. Looking less likely though.

Well, I got lucky and got some lift time at a garage a friend works at. I was able to replace a leaking rear main seal, install a new FRPP clutch kit, and FRPP steel input shaft bearing retainer. Very productive day right before the 500 miles to Foxtoberfest!
