    I finally got my 50 Chevy out on the road this summer.:) :) :) It's a great feeling finally getting your car moving (and stopping) under its own power. Since a job change I have had NO time to do any further work on the car. It looks like ****, runs like ****, but is it MY old piece of **** and it now runs. Its a start. Someday it will even be legal on the road.

  2. I call shenanigans. You must have used special effects. The speedo said you were going 0 mph!

    Congrats man. I hope to have that same feeling next summer if I get my act together

    I ran out of penetrating oil to free up the original speedometer cable.

    That also is on the list of things to do.

    The only shenanigan was putting a rear license plate on it so IF per chance I caught on my road with this car, I would only get nailed for non-inspection. I register all vehicles on my property so the neighbors can ***** about too many vehicles but they are legally there.

    Oh my goodness! How wonderful for you. I am tentatively planning my motor transplant this Saturday...I think I will pee my pants the day mine runs. Soon, I hope! Congrats! :D
