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!

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!

Today feels right!
If things went well yesterday afternoon, then today is the day. Tom wanted to start & adjust things before I see it running. Yesterday at noon, as I was leaving, he was putting gas in the tank, but he wouldn't start it until I left.
I will know this morning. But I believe all is well!
He will video the start-up episode, film @ 11:00!

Wow!!!
Well, it's running, & running strong!
I would have the car now, except the clutch master cylinder is not working. A new one is on it's way, but I don't know if it will arrive by Friday. 
But, it sounds GREAT!!!
jdog
P.S. Thanks for stopping by Jim, it was good to see you again. Your car is very cool!

"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!

Goosebumps
Jdog,
How sweet it is! My timing today was perfect. I could hear that big FE snarling as I pulled up to the shop this afternoon. What a sweet sound! I had goosebumps even before I walked inside. Your grin when you looked up, was priceless. You're probably still grinning I'll bet.
The installation is clean as a whistle. Nice going Tom.
Congrats Jdog. We're happy for you.
NorCal Cobras, soon to have a new member.
