So I bought the 98 Van Dieman from Phil. I have been getting it ready to run in Colombus In on Saturday. So far all my surprises have been pleasant. I spent a few hours yesterday getting some raised boards to get the car into my trailer without dragging on the back of the trailer where it breaks for the ramp. I was going to cut away part of the clutch pedal to get a little more room but found it had already been done.
I'm loving the car so far!
