YES, bore us with the details -- most of us love a good "first drive home" story.
In addition to ride height -- check the tire pressure.
Safe travels.

Well, we picked up the Mystery Machine from Tom Hampton yesterday and
we're driving to California!
Runs great. No issues.
Now I know why there are complaints about the steering. The steering
seems to have dead spots and it wanders around a lot more than I
expected. I'm going to try to lower the rear - it's now at 33" to
the top of the T Skirt.
Lot's of gas smell when we shut down the motor. But this thing runs
great down the road. Tom's brake lines really are like jewelry! We
ran out of gas on the freeway, but switched to the aux tank and made
it in to Terra Haute. This old girl is a good one!
I'll be boring you with more trip details, I'm sure!
