Finally Under Way (Own Power)

I finally got the front brakes bled last weekend - lots of pumping with my vacuum bleeder.  I put some tires on that I got from the junk yard (about 70% tread) and tried her out.  Here's the video:


This little ride was a lot of fun, but the tires rubbed the body in even the slightest of turns (with no bumps).  The back end got loose when I laid into the throttle, but I didn't have the rear cowling on yet (about 40lbs).  The tires are a little big, and I have to put some spacers in to raise the body a little - and probably shim forward the front axle.  The body is currently as far rearward as it can go (shell is against the rear frame), but the front tires are about 1.25 inches off center of the fender wells towards the rear.  I need to figure this out yet.  Hopefully I will not have to disconnect the hydraulics and re-bleed them (pain).
