OD works!

Love it when a plan comes together!  Got the interior all put back in along with the shifter and throttle cable this afternoon.  Took a quick ride around the neighborhood and shifted into 5th gear at about 45 mph just as smooth as silk.  Drove the 10 miles to downtown Grand Rapids on the city streets to avoid the expressway but I came home on the x-way just to try 5th again.  I don't have a tach in the car but I would estimate the rpm's at about 2000 while the speedo said 65mph.  I think the speedo is off about 5 mph; still have to check it against the wife's car to be sure.  Anyway, the '41 was just purring along in 5th gear.  Gonna be a fun ride!  I have an appointment at Maksim's on Monday to get the king pins replaced, brakes adjusted and checked, and front end aligned.  Hopefully they can find what is causing the hard pull to the left when the brakes are applied.  Thursday, June 9 the Hot Rod Power Tour is coming to Muskegon, Mi for the day before all the cars make the final run to Detroit to mark the end of the cruise.  I'm joining some friends from the Road Rodz car club to cruise over to Mkg and spend the day.  Pics to follow.
