[ChickenRammit]

Please install some shocks before you get it up to highway speed.

Well I drove it about 10 miles on surface streets to the parking lot at my office. Took a couple miles but the old fuel in the lines gave way to fresh and the engine came right to life!! I need to figure out the shock mounting situation with the rear stretched 1 1/2" back and the font being a ford axle, it's going to be custom.

The old plastic bowtie grill fell off on the way down and got ran over. Forgot to secure it in all the hulabulu. The drivers seat is held on with a pair of vise grips. There is still a lot to be done but it runs like a champ and gets right up to speed!
