First drive!!!!!
Well not quite done yet, need glass, one more seat cushion, tranny vacuum line and the speedo pick-up wired but it was good enough to get on the road. I got to drive around the neighborhood just barely got it into second gear but wow that was cool. I thought the noise would bother the neighbors but everyone waved and gave me the thumbs up, I think those were thumbs. A few guys even came over to check it out.
I'm very surprised how well it handled, cornered great, very stable, and the back end was solid when I gave it gas. I'm being quite easy on it but it feels like it has a lot more to give, here's hoping.
My friend hasn't sent me the video yet but here's some outside shots with a friend of mine.

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
