Default Started the Beast today

Well Guy`s and Gals
I kind of played hooky a little today and went home early and worked on the car. It fired right up after it got a little fuel up from the tank. Man is it loud. Headers with 4 ft of pipe. I still have alot to do but another great mile stone achieved today. It won`t be long now.

There's nothing like the sound of open headers :) Glad to see your project is on its way! Are you finishing up a frame off restoration?

Yes it has been a lot of work, my brother inlaw has been helping me the last two weeks and things have gone really fast. It is hard for me to believe how close the car is to finish. I hope to have the front clip on and re-attached by Thursday. Then it will be paint and tune it in. I will have to get some exhaust work done with putting headers on it. I need to also have an alignment done and new tires. Then I will probably go through the backs fast this trip. The car should be on the road looking and running good in January.
