Default 350 alive again

My 72 has been in restoration for over 18 months and counting (alot of weekend only tinkering thrown together with a few deployments) but alas today a friend of mine and I were able to piece all the separate projects together and the motor started up for the first time! Still have loads of work obviously and this was simply a morale booster but after frame sanding/fuel tank installation/exhaust/carb and intake cleaning/ suspension install plus other tiny projects in between the car finally came back to life. Sounds great too!

Its the simple things that amuse me
