Okay, I finally got it running pretty well and drove it an hour to my fave resto shop (with no problems, great car, broadwayblue!). STill amazes me how people drive in the newer cars. If you tried the same stuff in this thing you'd kill yourself!
I took it in to have their carb guy help me dial everything in just right, go through all the mechanicals and do a safety check of everything, and assess any damage there might be to the body that I can't see. The main thing is the rear main seal fix. They said they are pretty good with doing it in car, so that should keep labor way down. The last problem has been the exhaust. He said when I drove it in, it sounded like a clogged muffler. I was going to go a diff. route with the exhaust anyway.
They were very impressed with the car, though.
Also, for you cougar guys, they were detailing a beautiful XR-7 when I came into their shop... freaking gorgeous! I just thought I'd update you all on what's been going on. I've done a lot work to the car and I've driven it quite a bit. I absolutely love it... except when ppl crane their neck so much to see it that they almost cause a pileup!
