Finally got to see if this thing actually works. :D

It's only a quick run down the driveway and back, but it's the first time in 20+ years this thing has moved under it's own power. :hurray:

I've only owned it for 2 1/2 of those years, so I'm not a complete slacker.

First video is only about 15 seconds, it's the Chevelle actually driving out of the garage.

Second video is the trip down the street and back briefly. No exhaust, no insurance, no windshield... no long rides just yet...:thumbsup:

Thats gotta feel good John must have been hard to not stand on it. Now get that thing down to Bremerton and do some passes. I dont think they will complain to much about the whole no windsheild thing:D Just bring a helmet and some goggles.

Congrats John!:hurray::beers:
That's gotta feel awesome to have her under her own power again.:yes:
I bet a windshield, exhaust, and insurance aren't far off now.

Right on now that has to be a great rush, i bet that was a cold trip

Congratulations on the first run. You must be very relieved:thumbsup:
Now do something about that video cause for some reason is just get a skipping sound

John,

That's great:thumbsup: Thanks for the ride!! What a great feeling it must have been to finally get her on the road. I hope you post your runs in the quarter here too!

Reminds me when I took my 68 Nova w/427 uncorked to the muffler shop!
SWEET!

Thanks for the kind words.

My kid's have been grinding on me to get a better camera. Now I agree with them. Too bad the audio sounds so weak.

Nonetheless, it was a real shot in the arm to finally taste a little bit of victory with this project.

With my new camera, you can be sure I'll be posting the 1/4 mile on-board action, Mark.
