For many reasons, this was an incredibly special event for me. I busted my arse for three weeks straight scrambling to get the car back together... and wondering the entire time what was going to happen when I got back behind the wheel.
I was a little shaky at first, but slowly started to get some confidence back thanks to some gentle pushing by my instructor (thanks Bob).
The car ran beautifully (special thanks to Bill Dougherty who basically put the car back together in 10 days). It was awfully close... panic set in when I went to pick the car up on Thursday afternoon and she was still up on the lift. I think just about every guy in the shop was circling around my car like it was a code blue in an E.R. In the end, the car re-emerged better than ever... not a single hiccup over 10 full run sessions.
Have to also thank Jeff Haas and Jack Cramer for coming through with basically all the suspension components I needed for the repair.
I am extremely happy that I decided to keep the car.... she ain't pretty, but she's mine (warts and all)!
