    I wanted to share some footage of the first drive in my 32 I've been working on for two years. There's a timing and carb adjustment needed and an exhaust leak causing and it to sound like a giant typewriter but gawd I am like a little kid on christmas to have it moving under it's own power. Thank you all for this great community which provided all the help I needed when putting it together. My Father is filming and narrating - I get a great kick out of that too.

    The first run revealed that the brakes were way out of adjustment. After getting that fixed up, I keep testing them, which is why I keep stopping on the way out of the garage.

    Looks good and sounds good except for the leak. Congrats and there's nothing like that 1st ride no matter how short it is.

    seems like a fairly new speed bump there....
    did they put that in when you finally opened your garage door?
    i love the car...simple, but with endless class!
