Man I want to see this one at some point this summer, just awesome as always :thumbsup:

The engine ran for the first time at 7:32 pm Saturday night. Yep, its a race car. The 6 lb clutch allows it to rev like a cup car. Today we'll likely drive it at least around the block. Still to do:

hook up fans, headlights, turn signals, guages
re-bleed brakes
mount headlights
scale
paint seats
install harness tabs and harnesses
install doors, decklid, and hood
install remote charging terminals
radiator overflow
make breathers
get a real air filter
shifter boot
hook up power windows
rearend vent can
license plate light
license plate mount

Possible testing on Wednesday. Hope so, we need to race on Saturday!

I'll try to get some video up later today.

Busy...bye!

also very curious to see that speedo integrated... definitely a sexy piece...

Where did this go??? :_paranoid

We initially had problems with the gauge displaying oil pressure and voltage readouts. We had a Racepak sitting around and we are a little more familiar with that system.


So much has happened in the past day or so...

The guys got the wheels back on the car

The car is driving and operational (for the most part), just finishing up the details now!

what was that spark/flash when it first fired? What a great car, really turned out fantastic.

What an awesome looking car way to go! :hail: Question who makes the wheels and where to you get them from? They look nice.
