Donut Derelicts

Mutt spent last week at CW Restoration getting a few paint blemishes cleaned up. Last night I got the rest of the trim on the nose, and got the grille in for the first time. 

This morning my son Jonathan and I took her down for her debut at Adams Street Donuts - home of the Donut Derelicts. When we got there at 6 am, the parking lot was pretty full. Always the eclectic collection of cars, including a steamer, late model Corvettes and Vipers, and everything in between.

Jonathan and I stood off to the side and watched the action around Mutt. Interestingly, most folks paid attention to the late model LS motor under the hood, but nearly everybody missed the fender flares, the C4 suspension underneath, and the other modifications that make Muttvette a Mutt. 

I need to get the front bumper on this weekend, and need to get the car over to Little John to get the interior finished up. The serpentine drive also needs work - the belt has been squealing, and a quick look last night let me see it flopping between the crank and alternator. Looks like I need an idler on that side to keep it from bouncing on the water neck. I've als got to diagnose why I'm throwing P0171 / P0174 codes - System Too Lean - did a visual for vacuum leaks last night, but didn't see anything obvious. Overall, put about 9 miles on today, and 6 miles up and back to the shop, so finally getting miles on the car.
