Its alive!!!

Finally! I got to hear it run and idle on its own. If I had brakes, I could drive it!

Re: Its alive!!!

Thanks, I used a digital camera so the sound is off a little. I can hear a tick in the video, but not in person.

Re: Its alive!!!

Thanks!, I can't wait to hear it with the flowmasters on. They are 3 chamber ones so I am not sure what it will sound like.

Re: Its alive!!!

Thanks guys. I am definatly motivated now to finish this thing. I need to get on the dash and get it done. I hope to be at least driving it by next summer. I don't think I will have air then, but it will be running.

Re: Its alive!!!

Its funny you guys say that, I made my uncle, neighbors, friends all come over and hear it. I even have some ex co-workers that may stop by and hear it this Friday.

I have a build thread you can see more of the dash as I work on it. Beware, I am slow to get things done lately. I have a 3 month old and a 2 year old. busy.
