Talking Saved from the chopping block pt. 3 - road test!!!!!

Well guys, my dad and I took her out on the road for the first time today! Everything was installed except for the lower air dam (needs a little work yet), but other than it, complete. It performed just fine, everything works as it should. It felt really good to get out and blow the cobwebs out, I took it out on some of the backroads by my house. So, in the next couple of days we will tweak the gaps a little more, paint it - and shes DONE!!!

How appropriate that Dan lives smack in the middle of Texas Hill Country; ALL those twisty roads. Just make sure the AC works, bro.
