Drove this beast around today, and let me tell you that it's a really loud rattle trap that will F'n haul the freight! This thing is scary fast! Put it back in the garage and called it a good day!

Great job. Not only do you have the talent, you have the drive to get it done. I hope we get to see it at Optima.

Default Nice to have a ROLLER !!

Awesome, you've got it rolling under its own power!!

I did the same thing with my 67 YEARS ago. I had to shake out a few things and I didn't want to get the car all together and then find out that I needed to tear the thing apart again, only to fix things I could have diagnosed and tested with a rolling and self propelled car.

I drove it with a radiator core support and inner fender wells and LOTS of bailing wire holding together just about everything in front of the firewall.

Must feel great to get that going. Feels like progress is paying off don't it!!!

Set up a Ghetto Paint booth today, and spray'd a little paint. She's only gotta look good from 20' right? didn't turn out too bad. I signed up to run this in April at the Detroit Speed Southern Slam, Hope I make it! First AutoX is next weekend, will be a busy week I hope it doesn't rain.
