I had some help stop by so I got the front clip on and finished up the wiring.

I fired it up tonight, set the timing and adjusted the carbs. I have a little leak at the water neck to fix then get some exhaust on it. Once I get the bugs worked out I'll post some video.
 
I'm at Dollywood with my grand baby for a few days so it will have to wait...these old cars will be here when she's too grown up to play with "Papoo".
 
Yea, it's got a trans brake and I need to hook it up before reverse will work.

I like to hook the trans brake relay up through the reverse light switch. That way you can back up without holding the button (usually on the steering wheel so a PITA when backing and turning!). energizes the relay when the lights come on. Then just have the button spliced into the circuit. [P
 
agreed...

If you going to do that i hope you raise the back to keep the tilt.

gotta have a bit of a rake to it....I am totally diggin the stance right now...how is the clearance on the front tires turning radius wise?? Your wheels but man that thing is flat KILLER!!!....[cl
