    GTM 493 First Drive

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orRQMGVPBP8&spfreload=5

    Well finally got to the point I was comfortable to pull this out and give it a drive up and down the street. Only problem was did not check the battery status on the camera so it died. Car did great no problems of note what a good day. Hope you all enjoy as much as I did.

    Congratulations On This Tremendous Accomplishment!
    GTM's as we all know are the roughest & toughest to build.

    Thanks SteveL,

    I have read your build post, not the same issues but issues just the same. Also this is my first build so it has been a lot of fun for me.

    Congrats. The ride might feel little sloppy at first, but once you get a good alignment, the GTM feels pretty solid.
