z car finally on the road

[racer88]

The green pearl 260 is on the road. After 2 years of work I have been driving my 260 for the last week. I have put on about 400 kilometers (240miles). The first day consisted of fine tuning the su's. I set them up according to all the advice on this site and they only needed minor tweaking to eliminate small backfiring and some surging at constant speed in high gear. I was really concerned about the su carbs, as all my life it was holley's that I worked with. Was I wrong, the car pulls hard, starts with a small amount of choke idles great and cruises smooth. I may have went a little stiff on the springs, it handles great but is a little stiff in the rears (145lb fronts and 170 in the rear). Kyb's all way round. So far the car is a blast to drive, it goes like hell, stops and handles great. I have some just painted pic's in the body and paint section but I will post some completed pic as soon as my I.T. person (wife) has a chance. Thanks to everyone who has answered my questions and offered advice
