Engine Start-Up
 
I was ready to fire the engine up last weekend but the weather didn't cooperate.:mad:

So, hopefully Saturday afternoon will be nice so I can get this thing started & finally on the road.

Hopefully we can all get together sometime next month.

See ya,

Randy

I know it wasn't that nice Saturday but I thought I'd check and see if you got her running and on the road? Hopefully everything went well.

Yea, it wasn't that nice Saturday but I got tired of waiting for good weather.

So we pushed it outside when it wasn't raining & turned that little silver key. Wouldn't start, bad fuel pump, so we pushed it back in the garage, changed the pump, pushed it outside and................

it started!!!!:D Then it started drizzling but I didn't care! Engine sounds great, pipes sound great!

Just need to adjust the clutch & take it to the Tag Agency to get the "black tag" removed then I'll be legal!

So, after a long six years, I think it's time to hit the road!:cool:

Congradulations
 
I feel for you as I am just starting to build my Kit. I know that I have 5 to 6 yrs of interesting times, to build my toy. Best of years of enjoyment to you. It's great to see a dram come true.

Good to hear, this Sat I will be starting my car since it's "rebirth" (550+hp motor) and can't wait to take her on her first drive(again)

Glad to here you got her started up!!!!!! Now just hope for some nice days you can drive her.

I pulled the body back off my car to finish up wiring and the emergency brakes. I got just about everything I can think of rounded up for the car except for a clutch and pressure plate so I hope to have her back together by spring.
Let us know how it goes if (when) you get yours on the road this weekend.
