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

Congrats!! Yep...it's the same for all of us. We need a little bit of success every now and then to "pump us up".
