drive one like it is and work on the others its the best of both worlds

 

Well, I know where you are coming from, perfectionist and all. And likely driving it with console out will bother you more then the pleasure you get from the drive....SO...put then dang console in and drive...then work on the other cars! :winkgrin: We are talking about 20 mins work here. ::

 

i drive mine every chance i get and dont regret it one bit. our cars are never done so you might as well drive it and enjoy it.

Exactly! jc

 

If it's driveable and you won't mess up anything on the car by driving it, drive it!!
It may not be finished, but it is still unique and different from the other "run-of-the-mill" cars you see everyday.

 

For a week I ran mine without a dash.....

Hell, tonight I drove 80 miles on a 2 lane highway, just for fun. I ran about 75-80 the whole way @ 3100 rpm.

If it moves and stops under its own power, I'll drive it.

 

Look, mine looks like Frankenstein, (spelling?) But Tiggermom just got the dash back in and I will drive it to get the bugs out. I will not paint it until the bugs are "out of here". If I want to look cool, I'll drive her car, :biggrin:.

 

The first cruise night I drove my 'vert to, it was all in primer, no interior, except for drivers seat, no top, no door glass, no grille or bumpers, etc. Still got alot of attention. Just driving and dreaming of what it would look like in the future.

 

I'd drive my fastback now except for uncertain brakes and the fact that it can't get through emissions just yet. So, I drive it illegally around my neighborhood now and then. I've taken it to shows over the last two years putting it in first as an in-progress entry and now as a regular modified class entry. The first time it was entered, it had no gas tank, no interior, but it was just painted and looked gorgeous sitting on matching flatbed trailer. Now at least I can drive it around the parking lot at a show and it looks almost done. Most people wouldn't notice what is unfinished--at least the judges haven't as it's won First Place and Best of Show in the last five MCA regional judged shows it's been in. :winkgrin:

 

There is more to console but I will not get into that now.
I can see I am not alone, so drive it and I am sure this winter it might be 99% done.
Thank You All!

 

i drive mine when they are mechanically safe. i have driven mine with only one seat no instruments, no other interior you could open the trunk up and see all the way to the firewall. made for the quickest health and welfare check while i was stationed at ft. hood ::
