    No, that's not Gabriel's horn you are hearing, that's just my car finally coming to life after about three years of not knowing what the hell I am doing.

    It's about damn time.

    I don't have the lights wired up, the doors and grill still aren't painted, and my remote oil mount is leaking quite nicely, but dammit it's finally running. I've terrorized the locals with it a little bit, but I haven't gone out too far since it's not exactly legal right now.

    Thanks to Coby for the pictures. I still need to replace my camera, so the pics are a bit limited right now.


    Does this mean I get to sit at the grown-up table now?

    Here's a couple before paint and the fancy-schmancy engine dressup type items. The last pic is the only decent pic I have of the top wood and windsheild frame. I managed to drop my camera and ruin it right after that pic was taken. I still need to put on the vinyl cover for the top.

    Coby told me none of it counts if the doors are still grey. What a jerk.

    The car is totally bitchin. I think Sparkle is gonna get laid because of it. I have a couple more pics at home that I can post later. That damned thing called work keeps getting in the way.

    Big ups Johnny for getting it on the road. The pile up is just around the bend.

    Coby's pics certainly make it look more mysterious and sinister. My pictures suck. I think I'm just going to post parts of the car from now on, it certainly makes it look better than what it really is. :)

    Coming from the guy with one of the coolest cars at the HAMB drags, that is quite the compliment. Thanks!

    So when are you driving it to Indy? Remember, you live in Terehaute, nothing there really counts.

    Good to see it coming together for you! See you soon John...

    I take it back. Coby isn't a jerk now. Larry is.

    Not sure about Indy, but I plan on being at the Pileup. Either way, you still owe me a ride in your car.
