Default It's Alive !!!!

Friday, Patrick and John came over and we cranked it. Timing was way off from where I thought it was .. but John figgered out which way and ten minutes from when he arrived, we had engine start. Set the timing, ran it at 2000, 3000, 4000 and set the idle at 900. Engine sounds like an FE .. no surprise, right. We got all the tuning taken care of, then I said "look out, I'm going to back it into the garage. Instead, I put it in first and drove it around the block, only camera we had handy was Johns cell phone. Youtube sucks, the video really isn't this bad, but here it is .. turn your audio on

It came back leaking all types of fluids I've got all that corrected, I think, will do another short drive Sunday. Today is get the gearshift adjusted day, and install the tunnel, shift boot. Had to insulate the tunnel, per ERA procedure. Have appointment with DPS Waiver inspector Mon to get inspection. Then will see if I can get it titled and registered. Will take Monday off work to do all that, fingers crossed. Doing it the legal way to set the procedure for all who come after me

See y'all Sun at the Garland show, in the caddy .. the Cobra is not legal
