Well its been about 5 or 6 months since my last update. I have gotten alot done over the winter. I just finished up the fuel lines and wiring (for the most part) today. Im trying to get this beast on the road for when the weather breaks for good.....bout 4-5 weeks. Anyway wanted to check to see if the fuel lines were done right so I tried to start the motor today.

YouTube - it's alive

only ran it for a few seconds, still need to plumb the radiator and few little things under the hood. Man what a feeling of accomplishment. I felt like a little kid, smiling ear to ear!!!! I could tell that it needs a lot of tuning to get it right but in the end -------ITS ALIVE!!!!!!!

Brian,
Congrats on the progress. I know how you are feeling. It's crazy how bad you want to drive it, after the motor turns for the first time. Now if we just had unlimited time and money . . . oh crap, reality fading. I gotta go, need more coffee to stay awake.

You would think that a guy like me, no kids and a understanding wife, would have tons of time to work on the truck. NOPE!!! If it wasnt for vacations I would get anything done. It seems like I schedule my vacations around the truck schedule. Oh well, gotta get done sometime. My glass guy is supposed to stop by today to look and see if I have everything ready for him. I think I have it ready to go, so hopefully I have the glass in before the weekend is over. Hope to get the exhaust done next weekend.
