You'd think with a new fuel cell and all new lines that wouldn't be an issue but who knows what grit might have been in the gas. I put a filter in front of the pump this time.1 Corinthians 1:27

Got the car cleaned up and been cruising around for the last few days; a few little bugs to work out but really happy with it. I took it over to the original owner's house and took him for a ride; he was really happy to see it going again. That's him in the last picture. Last time he drove it was around 1980 and it was parked after that.1 Corinthians 1:27

It must've been a special moment to have him climb aboard.
The car came out great.

Thanks; it has been one long, adventurous journey on this one. Probably my last full blown frame off project, at least for a long time. It'll be nice to actually enjoy driving it instead of spending every spare moment trying to get it finished up. I am so ready to be working on something else!1 Corinthians 1:27

We did a nice long burnout out of his driveway and he's like, "Hey, it didn't used to do that when the old six cylinder was in there!" Lol!1 Corinthians 1:27
