Worth it all at last
I picked her up '09, went through trailing arm replacements, new dash wiring harness, steering column rebuild, Q-jet rebuild, points to electric conversion and many more odds and ends done and still to do. But today was the day that made the last 3 yrs (and all the work still to do) worth it. After finally sorting out and patching up the ignition harness mess, the sound of '69 sidepipes came to life! No radiator hooked up and she is still far from being on the road, but was able to enjoy at least a few seconds of the rumble.

Yep, I tried doing a video of it but camera phone audio just does not do sidepipes enough justice to bother posting. And nice to see that a month of weekends rebuilding the Q-jet ended up with a running unit. Now to disconnect everything, get the TKO in and see if I can make the thing drive itself out of the garage for once rather than pushing or towing with the tractor.
