I drove the cuda today!!!!!!
« on: June 09, 2007 - 06:32:34 PM »
 :bananasmi ................well a tiny bit,.......... finally put in some brake fluid & did a makeshift one man bleed, dragged up a seat from my basement & bolted that in, fired her up & away I went, two feet backwards, three feet foward, moved it more to the center of my tent & shut her down. not exactly  smokey burnouts or a test run on the highway, but it's the first time it moved under it's own power in almost 6 years!  :bigshades:
On the bad side I sanded off more of my 450 a gal paint, lookin like I will end up reshooting the whole car!  :faint:
I may just say screw the paint & drive it like it is!  :screwy: Rich.

Great to hear she is moving again Rich! Sorry to hear you are still having to work on the paint. Don't give up, it would be a shame if you did. You deserve to roll out with her flanks gleaming in the sun  :burnout:
