Yeah, just what I need.....

Seriously? Cup holders? I got bigger fish to fry....

Finished welding up the engine cover(s), started smoothing them out. I wanna get my seats mounted next, May try to fire it up this weekend.

 

Couldn't wait for the weekend.....I had to fire it up today!

I'm stoked! It fired right off after a little prime down the carb. That six sounds soooo sweet without mufflers!" title="Evil Grin" class="inlineimg" border="0">

Everything works.....distributor cap, power steering, wiring........

Did I mention I was Happy? Got me some motivation now.....

 

That is excellent news!!!


WOOHOOO!!!!!


A big round of frosty beverages is in order


Bobby

 

Congrats!

The big 6 uncorked does sound sweet!

 

Motavition ! This whole build has been full of motivation!! Glad it's all working -- keep up the good work. I think we are all enjoying it very much.

 

I'm having my second heart healthy glass off red wine in celebration of this epic 'fire-up'.I love this thread!

 

Gary, I'll bet you are itching to get back out to work, eh? I know it drives me crazy to sit around.........gotta be doing something.

Thanks to all for your support! My motivation was dwindling as this project seems to be endless....

 

Congratulations! I'll add my WOO HOO as well!

 

Congratulations. It's so exciting to fire it up.

 

Congratulations, start-up is always a big day. You have definitely earned it.

 

Congradulations we all had faith in you. Whats next on the list, paint, interior?
Let us know how the brakes, steering , and vibration are.

 

Love to see one of those half-finished, half baked youtube videos of you motoring this thing around in front of your shop. Oh, wait, you'd probably need to put chains on it! As far as cup holders, that's what knees are for.

 

I spent some time insulating the firewall, then put some bed liner on the floor.
Got my engine cover in primer....still need to finish it. Also mounted the seats.
Gonna start on the running boards next......

After the startup, I see my water pump is leaking also.....so I need to tear into that. Always something....

 

Well hell ya Garry. Any excuse to suck down a half gallon or so
of healthy red wine is always a good thing. But bud at our age
do we really need any excuse? So just how damn big is your
wine glass anyway. Mine holds a quart. Dr has no idea when he said I
should have two glasses with and after dinner. Heck I seldom can
even make any dinner. Who needs any more dinner than
that? Don't wine cover most of the food groups. If ya need veggies
than drink green wine for a night. Well the whole bottle as ya
don't want it to spoil. It could make ya sick and unhealthy. Right?
Just havin some fun Bud. You take care of your self. Seriously

 

Last time I looked that is exactly what a quart mason jar holds. What are the chances?
