Welp it’s been almost a year since I started this project. I’ve had lots of twists turns, issues that needed to be worked out, ideas to make stuff fit or work, but it all pretty much came together today. The original plan was to get the drive shaft lengthened a few inches and have the exhaust stuff in. Well the drive shaft got done and and I’m still waiting on some parts for the exhaust. I basically said screw it, I’m driving the damn thing. And lemme tell ya. Words cannot put into meaning that this car is gonna be fun!!!

I took it out three times before the video checking things, making sure nothing was leaking, etc… Also getting up the confidence of working the loud pedal. Wow is all I gotta say at this time. Welp here’s the video, I’m off to go clean the driveway. Got a little cluch / gas happy on one of the runs..

Finally. 9 months after taking delivery of the car I finally got to fire it up. Man I can’t describe how happy I am. I was honest to god worried that it wouldn’t start or burn to the ground. When it fired up it scared the shit outta me.. Didn’t expect it fire on the second crank. Thanks to my brother James for swinging over and helping. He was also on fire extinguisher duty.. Here’s the youtube video:
