Default It Lives!!!!!

Test fired the car today. Ran just long enough to empty the bowls, but it did fire right up on the first crank.



Just a pump gas burnin, drive it anywhere stock block SBC. It'll definatly be ready and willing by the time the season gets to full swing. Really only have to finish wiring it and put the gut back in.

I have no idea why the first few seconds are split from the rest of the vid.

I'm planning to have the car out in the early part of the season, but it's gonna take me a few outings to sort out the chassis, I'm sure. I plan on running the car at the major Corvette shows at Etown. As well as the Old Time runs at Etown and Island. Also looking at Pinks All Out in July at Etown.

Looks and sounds good. Remember us North Jersey Outlaws, when you want to race. We get together at Island often.
