I got it movin!
After a couple weeks of late nights I finally got my brakes functional and got the motor sucking gas from the tank. I got pulling under it's own power and after a little testing, had it out and doing some burn outs. It's pretty cool completely customizing something and making it work. Everything went fine, exept for some brake fluid seeping from a few fittings. I may have to make some new lines (found out my flaring tool was wore out) and the fittings on my fuel filter were slighty leaking. The pictures are of my dad driving.

Magic moment first time you nail it and it actually moves...with tire smoke.

Looks good!! It makes it all worth it when you hit these milestones, like having it move under its own power.
