Re: '69 GMC Build Thread.

well, another successgful day for the ol' girl, for the most part.

my dad drove it to work today, and he comes home for lunch. it made it there, back, there and back again. so, since it used about 3 gallons of gas, we're guessing about 15-18 mpg...but thats with a 20 min warm up time this morning.

the only hitch?

the starter doesn't want to kick in when it's cold. it'll just click. after enough key turns, it randomly turned over, and started. it did the same thing after work, when he was getting ready to come home. except that time he got a push from one of the guys at the shop.

so, i'm gonna post another trhead regarding a cold starter not engaging..or whatever. we're thinking its one of the two washers in the started not functioning...or something..-shrug-.

she's on the roazd. and thats what counts!

-Sam.
