First start and first drive today. TKB came by and was a huge help. I had a few things to finish: rough alignment, hang and adjust the doors, and assemble the interior. Before the first start, I primed the oil pump, set the timing (static), and it fired right up. Then I set the timing with a strobe and fixed a few small leaks - nothing major.
I took it first up the street and back and then checked it out. Then I took it about 2 mi to a gas station. I'm surprised how smooth and easy to steer this car is. Brakes seemed fine, clutch too.
The only things that don't seem to be working at this point are the tach and the speedo, so I'll try to chase those problems down later this weekend.
