After spending the last few months up on jack stands, Scraps is back on the ground and ready to roll!

Long blog post to follow, but the need for a new exhaust manifold led to lots of other little projects. All set for a trip to the DMV today, but they are closed to save the state a few bucks!

I'm itching to see how this thing drives!
