The Beast Lives!
« on: August 12, 2009 - 09:17:54 PM »
The car is still up on blocks, no mufflers (just headers), no brakes, etc., but I put some gas in it, checked for leaks, and put a battery in. It started right up! Only ran it for a few seconds. I sure woke up everyone in the house.

First time in 5 years! The sweet roar sure made me smile.

Got a bunch more odds and ends before it will be roadworthy.

Nothing like gasoline sucked though a hemispherical combustion chamber to get you high!  :rofl:
