Jdog, you just gotta borrow, rent or steal a vid cam for that start up! All of us need to see and most important, hear this baby roar into life!

There will be video!
I have located a video camera I can use to capture the first start up. 
Tom said he will probably start her up tomorrow, or Friday. I won't see it started until next week. We're close, very close.
The engine looks awsome sitting in that black beauty, I can hardly wait to hear it start!

P.S. Film at 11:00!

Jerome,
I'm thinking he wants you to pick it up on Monday so Tom and I can take it out for a spin this Saturday night to break 'er in right for ya. Hahahahahaha!  Nahhhhhh... yak-yak-yak.
...Seriously, I'm confident he wants to get it sorted out for you as much as possible. With all this lousy heat right now (lame driving weather), a few extra days will be worth the extra wait. Your patience is about to pay off here real soon buddy!

Good stuff, jdog! I am really looking forward to hearing this baby roar! Going to be one of those moments for you! I think I'll be heading down to Keith Crafts, when he finishes the build for me and video the dyno run. Great stuff, jdog, I'm happy for you! You should get someone to video your face, when he starts it up. I think that would be pretty interesting too!  Would love to see some pics of that baby in the car. I would like to see what "cosmetics" you used to make it "pretty," as in "pretty wicked!"

Today?
I think maybe today, Tom will be starting her up for the first time. I stopped by at lunch time and she looked ready to start, to me! The only thing he needed was the correct hose clamps, and they arrived as I was leaving.
Plus, I think I saw Tom checking the moon phase on the calender!
Tom has a camera and we will shoot some video as soon as he has determined alls-well.
Thanks for the support everyone, I do appreciate it! I only hope I can return the favor sometime!
This really is one of those moments you've waited a lifetime for!
I can hardly believe it's really happening, myself.

Tonight!
Tonight Tom will start her up!
I went by today and he was putting gas in the tank.
I had to leave, I got too nervous! 
He said if everything checks out, tomorrow I can have her!

"To jdog"!
Wow, today was a big day for the dog!
Got to hear my car run, although still up on jack stands! It raised the hairs on my arms with excitment!
And when I got home I found a package from Las Vegas. It was the visor from my car, that I had sent to Amy, for Carroll's autograph. It says:
"To jdog
Your friend
Carroll Shelby"
SOB, how cool is that?
Thank you Mr. Shelby & thank you Amy!
jdog
P.S. Bill, after today, I know just how you will feel when that cammer fires up in 4786!
I'm excited for you!

Jdog,
Did you fire it up? We're all wishing you the best after your long wait!
Kinda like giving birth after 2-years. Pass those cigars around.

Hey jdog, what happened? We haven't heard from you. Did it go? Hope you weren't kidnapped or sanctioned because you tried to video the secret flashlight ceremony!
