Default It's alive!!! 69 427 Project Update

Well after 1 1/2 years the 69 427 Tri-Power project made 3 laps around the block. So far the speed-O doesn't work, Oil pressure gage is dead, and I have a small oil leak at the front of the trans. Power curve was impressive in 1st and 2nd. For the new people here below are the details.

69 Coupe 427/435hp, 4-speed, 3:70 rear
Complete Body off restoration (still needs paint)

List of things left to do

Insurance and Tags tomorrow
Paint Hood
Pay someone to Pull Trans and fix oil leak (tired of working on it)
Fix Speed-O
Fix Oil Pressure gage
Dyno and Tune

I thank everyoen here that provide support and info throughout this project. Can't wait to get it on a open road.
