Been having fun driving the Toad around. Took it to a small local show on the Main Street of Somerville a couple Friday nights ago. And the other picture is my son helping me wire the gauges up a little nicer.

I’ve put some miles on the car at this point. I love how it looks with the 14x8 rear tires and H50-14’s. But man if I don’t worry a bit driving around on them lol.

Looks like the front end needs a camber adjustment.

Yes. Even in the picture from the80’s it looks way out of wack. I need to adjust it at some point.

Small update on the Hornet.
I’ve driven the car a bunch. It let me down one time when the factory tach shit the bed and I had to bypass it on the side of the road. I’ve since bypassed it correctly but otherwise the car is awesome. I’ve put probably 3-400 miles on these ancient Mickey Thompson H50-14’s and they still look perfect. One has a small slow leak but we don’t worry about that little guy.

Otherwise I look like Joe Dirt driving the thing around and it’s awesome.

I still need to do a camber adjustment on the front end. I’ll get to it at some point.

Edited to add: Can’t wait for MCACN and being able to show this car. It’s an oddball and I hope people appreciate it in the barn finds and hidden gems section. Which I believe they will. And I’m truly grateful that this car is included in the show this year. I’m also in talks to do a Hemmings photo shoot and article to be released before MCACN.
