    Andy, it was great having you over. I am still in disbelief.
    My friends are great. They are a fun group of people that just dig cars. They thought you were pretty great too.

    Anytime you need me to come out, just  give me  a holler, and I will definitely be coming out your way!

    You guys helped bring thi car back to life. It was angry, and it wanted to get out. :bigsmile:
    I still have some major adjustment to do.... :working: trans, electrical refinements, this and that...
    I'll post more pics from the other night. There are just a few though...It was hard taking pic when your wrenchin.

    Congrats, looks like it was a fun time. How late was it and how many 7k rpm raps on the throttle did the neighbors get to hear? :clapping:

    Yeah, It was LOUD!!!!

    we took it well in the RPM range, and there was a BLATANT disregard for the decibel level/ :stirpot: :dogpile: :bananasmi

    My neighbors came home from vaction today-  the ones that help me- They stopped to find out if it ran. They were both really happy..They were kinda bummed they missed it, but they are stoked that they will get to here it... :bigsmile:

    yeah, my camera skills sucked that night..too much  :drunk:

    I was so busy working, that I periodically forgot to take pics...
