It's LEGAL!!! PA inspection done!
Since the trip to the inspection station was the first time the car was on the road (beyond first gear) I talked my mechanic friend into following me as I drove it to his shop. Good thing! The upper rad hose connection came apart en route. Fixed and burped. It’s all good now.
I interrupted the ten mile drive home to let it cool down and top off the coolant. I guess the engine was not quite done burping!
I drove very carefully, but it's obvious that this is going to be a lot of fun! It's a beast! I'll be busy for quite a while with shakedown drives and trying to make the interior road trip ready.
