yes, many want to see/hear that thing. :cool:

Today?
 
I think maybe today, Tom will be starting her up for the first time. I stopped by at lunch time and she looked ready to start, to me! The only thing he needed was the correct hose clamps, and they arrived as I was leaving.
Plus, I think I saw Tom checking the moon phase on the calender!

Tom has a camera and we will shoot some video as soon as he has determined alls-well.

Thanks for the support everyone, I do appreciate it! I only hope I can return the favor sometime!:)

This really is one of those moments you've waited a lifetime for!:MECOOL:

I can hardly believe it's really happening, myself.;)

Jdog,

Did you fire it up? We're all wishing you the best after your long wait!
Kinda like giving birth after 2-years. Pass those cigars around. ;)

Hey jdog, what happened? We haven't heard from you. Did it go? Hope you weren't kidnapped or sanctioned because you tried to video the secret flashlight ceremony!:LOL:

jdog 08-02-2006 08:43 AM

Today feels right!
 
If things went well yesterday afternoon, then today is the day. Tom wanted to start & adjust things before I see it running. Yesterday at noon, as I was leaving, he was putting gas in the tank, but he wouldn't start it until I left.

I will know this morning. But I believe all is well!:)

He will video the start-up episode, film @ 11:00!:cool:

Good stuff, jdog, can't wait to hear it roar!

jdog 08-02-2006 02:59 PM

Wow!!!
 
Well, it's running, & running strong!:MECOOL:

I would have the car now, except the clutch master cylinder is not working. A new one is on it's way, but I don't know if it will arrive by Friday.:rolleyes:

But, it sounds GREAT!!!:cool:

jdog
P.S. Thanks for stopping by Jim, it was good to see you again. Your car is very cool!:)

Thanks Bill!
 
Thanks Bill, yes very loud!

Is your car on the road yet?

I would really like to see your car one day!

Good luck, and thanks again for everything you've done for me!:)

I am working on my car here at nights and weekends. Currently aligning the bellhousing. Got lots of little things to work through. ANother couple of months.

jdog 08-02-2006 08:12 PM

"To jdog"!
 
Wow, today was a big day for the dog!

Got to hear my car run, although still up on jack stands! It raised the hairs on my arms with excitment!
And when I got home I found a package from Las Vegas. It was the visor from my car, that I had sent to Amy, for Carroll's autograph. It says:

"To jdog
Your friend
Carroll Shelby"

SOB, how cool is that?
Thank you Mr. Shelby & thank you Amy!:cool:

jdog
P.S. Bill, after today, I know just how you will feel when that cammer fires up in 4786!:cool:
I'm excited for you!;)

Goosebumps
 
Jdog,
How sweet it is!:D My timing today was perfect. I could hear that big FE snarling as I pulled up to the shop this afternoon. What a sweet sound! I had goosebumps even before I walked inside. Your grin when you looked up, was priceless. You're probably still grinning I'll bet.
The installation is clean as a whistle. Nice going Tom.
Congrats Jdog. We're happy for you.:)
NorCal Cobras, soon to have a new member.
