Brian, I actually had it running last September and took the Ol' Cowboy Cadillac around the block on an initial run. I had things pretty jicky just to get it running (note the gas can and the upper hose in the pic) to test my steering and brakes, since then I tore it apart to pretty it up a bit and box the frame. Now I'm trying to get to the point where I can drive it.
This pic is from last September

Hotrod, I'm pretty sure that I need to do a thorough test on the line-lock solenoid to be sure it works properly (hehehehe) I'll make sure I get a pic or two...

Testing is always a good thing. That's the first thing I do when I get to pavement (I live on a dirt road). Hurry up and "Git-R-Done".

BTW, who is the big goofy looking guy driving the truck?

Good Job Bobby. I'm just still having difficulty over the GM/Caddie and Ford Unnatural Mating. Its a test-tube baby. I understand.

I just went and looked at that picture. It's funny, looks like something I would do.

Congrats bobbytnm, It's always nice to hear them come to life. Especially while looking at the few parts still lying in the parts bucket and wondering where they could have come from.
