Its Alive, Its Alive!!!

Fired up the BB in the blazer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! One push of the pedal to set the choke, one turn of the key, and she fired right off. Very satisfying Sounds awsome! Dad got the rear drive shaft (heavier and larger diameter than stock) made earlier this week, its in. Bled the brakes this evening. Have to finish topping off the trans, change the front seal in the TC, tighten lug nuts, and bolt in some seats. Then we'll finaly get drive it around the block a couple times (or more)

Pics will follow!

It's called golf because all the other four letter words were taken.

It's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission.

I know what your saying. It's a great feeling. A feeling as good, but different as cruising with the top down and the CD up. Makes you smile!!

Drove it out into the driveway so I could finish painting my roll cage (while I had the cage out).
