Belonging to a local car club, New South Cruisers of Dothan, we have the unique opportunity to tap into the talents of several club members, but specifically Mark who is an ASE Master Mechanic. He has taken The Beast under his wings to ensure all is well before we venture more into the wild.
Switching it from using E85 fuel to premium gas was the first thing, and now he's onto the brakes. Only having front brakes at the moment, Tom felt is was a critical move. We're anxious to have it back, but also want to feel confident taking it farther. Yep, it is a challenge for sure. Mark called to say, as expected, the rear brake drums are not cooperating. He is not a quitter and he will win. But for now, the beast is up on the rack waiting for Mark's next thought!
