Car looks amazing BTW. Great job with the build!
The biggest concern is the differential builder said the first 300 miles should be easy, and to drain the unit and re-fill at 500 miles. I'm not taking chances.

Thanks! Car looks identical on the outside as to what it did before, and while it's pretty, I think the best stuff is under the hood.
