Default Well.....

After about a year, The motor came to life for a short period of time on Sunday. I got it started and it sounded great. The carb just needs to be adjusted so it will idle and some other little things need to be taken care of and it will be good to go. Oh and I need to get a drive shaft yet. But so far so good!

Congrats Korndogg. I'm trying to get mine to that point as well. Getting the right size Pushrods is a PITA

Just ship us the car and we'll take care of it for a nominal fee. Of course the fee will be discussed after you ship us the car
