It's the last one of the season and it looks like it's going to rain. But I finally got anchors in position so I can install a lap belt. Three point belts will be installed ultimately.

I'm not expecting anything blistering. It's not quite tuned and it's been running very cold. It doesn't seem to get much above 140, while moving, with things cooling down. It gets hot in the summer and cold in the winter. I don't quite get that. Hopefully I'll be able to idle long enough to get it up to temperature before making a pass. If not I'll just have to limit my fun.
