Re: KPack's 1954 Panama

I took my wife out on a super unromantic "first drive" in the Panama. I got the new fuel tank all the way hooked up, she helped me bleed the brakes so we could actually stop, then she sat on the bare metal floor surrounded by tools, while I sat on my plastic crate and we cruised up and down the gravel driveway.
It was dark by then and I hadn't fixed the headlight switch, so I used an actual headlight(headlamp) for illumination. She was a good sport....we both got dust in our eyes (no windshield) and big whiffs of exhaust (holes cut in the floor and missing rear exhaust pipe), but she still had fun. It gives me motivation to keep pushing on the car. I can't wait to be able to drive her on date nights to a nice restaurant, or take our kids to get a shake or ice cream.
