Thanks Dave! It's so close I can taste it now. But, regardless, I get to wait until spring to test drive it.

I was able to get more of the interior put together. I have learned that I am horrible at upholstery. I am going to have to pull the dash top off and have it upholsted properly by someone much more talented than me to make it look proper. I also learned that buying cheap seats to save money doesnt work. I am on the hunt for some aftermarket seats that fit my needs better. The driveshaft was ordered. I am going to run a QA1 Carbon Fiber shaft. The windshield and back window were installed last week. I was able to find a new windshield but the rear is no longer being produced. We cleaned up the rear but it still has some scratches in it. Not bad enough to be of a major concern. Still waiting for my Budnick wheels but they arent due for a couple more weeks. Door glass and door panels will hopefully go in this weekend, along with the weather stripping. I am slowly running out of parts. I need to order a different steering wheel. The one in the photo came with the steering column I purchased used.

Default Finally received wheels and got the first drive

After waiting for wheels for what felt likes decades, they finally arrived. I decided on Budnik Pivot's for it. Once they were on, I didnt have anymore excuses to drive it. It was either going to move under its own power, or I was going to have to answer for screwing something up!
After sitting in my garage since 1992, it backed out and drove around the block on its own. Pretty emotional feeling after working on it, mostly on my own, for 10 years.
It made it two trips around the block, then the MAP sensor on the FAST 2.0 ate itself alive. I have to say, FAST's support is absolute ****. I fully understand that I bought the unit 7 years ago. I wasnt expecting any warranty. I was just hoping to get some information to make it work. That went no where.
Luckily the googler was able to chase down an aftermarket MAP sensor, I swapped it. It ran. For a minute. Next was a brand new Aeromotive Phantom pump that got eerily quiet and quit making pressure. After having the wife tow me home, a quick test showed proper signal to the pump but no go. I ordered a replacement pump, swapped it and all is good.
Because of my complete and utter lack of trust in the FAST set up, I ordered a Holley Sniper for it. It's going on this weekend.

Last night, we were able to take it to a local Wednesday night car show for the first time. It was 98 degrees and humid when I backed it out of the garage. I was concerned about overheating it since I had very little time on it. It made the 7 or 8 mile trek both ways perfectly! Engine temp stayed right about 200-205 which I'll gladly take given the ambient temp. One of our daughters brought the Grandkids to hang out for a bit. It was a hot but fun evening.
