YES!! It drives!
I'm so jacked right now! Found I am going to have to change the oil pan gasket. Might also need a stronger return spring on the gas pedal too. But Reverse, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd work. Didn't hit 4th.
First video starts a bit slow finding gears, and working on my nerves.

Re: YES!! It drives!
That was fun, nothing like that first ride around the block when you get it together enough to be able to take that test drive.

Looks good and sounds good. Ill be looking for a doorless bedless noseless truck running down 10th with the KPD chasing it.
I wouldn't sweat the leos. Two of my nieghbors are cops and they understand shakedown runs with old cars.

Around here the cops are pretty cool if you are not being stupid and would probably want a shop tour. I've been stopped by bored cops on road trips in my 64 Chevelle just because they wanted to check out the car.
