Big step today

Been working on my 56 going on 5 years. Put a 302 in it about a month ago and finally got enough time to ruff in the wiring to turn the motor over.There's nothing liking cranking a motor for the first time on something which you have been working on for so long. Still have a lot to do but it just seems like I reached the top of the mountain.

I don't know that you made it to the top but it sounds like you got to a place where you can see the top. Keep up the good work. I think the experience of driving it will trump hearing it run.

I think you may be right about that.

Wait until the first time you start it. You'll be surprised...
