The epitome of badd***edness. Congratulations.

 

Hey S V> it's a big day in a build when your project moves under it's own power instead of you pushing it!
Looks like a KILLER RIDE! eh!

 

thanks everyone, figured i better post it since i love seeing everyone elses first drive videos. everything went pretty good and i took it for a few trips around the bigger blocks after haha. just working out some bugs and theyre getting checked off the list really quick. i noticed my heads and valve covers were getting quite hot so i definatly had to address that problem first. bit by bit its becoming a real hot rod. cant thank the hamb enough!

 

Can't wait for a ride Kieth!!!
