WooHoo!!! Project "71 GMC" is finally able to motivate under it's own power.

It has been nearly ten years, with countless setbacks, frustrations, and aggravations, but project "71 GMC" is finally motivating under it's own power again. That first test drive after a total frame up rebuild is kinda like hearing a new baby cry for the first time.

It IS an amazing feeling. Sitting on a cinder block with a 1 gallon gas can tied to the frame with the hoses dangling down in the gas while loud open headers boom under you is awesome. I still have a long way to go, but I feel your "WooHoo!!!" and raise a cold jar to you. Congrats.

It's not finished yet, but It has come a LONG way from this.
