1905 runs again...and Fire Wall Bubble

Congratulations, I know it's been a long road. It sounds great.

love it, can't wait for better audio though congrats, you guys are giving me motivation!

That looks (and sounds) pretty awesome.

Very cool

Rocky

Thanks

The exhaust was over modulating the microphone
I will need to move it back a ways.

Sweeeeeet!

Very cool.

Congrats man... Sounds great. BTW...those weber stacks look sweet

Thanks, I have had so little time to work on the car but I have a good to-do list. Every time I have a few minutes I try to pick something and get something done.

It can be really frustrating when you get an hour to work on something then you are short one item...then you try to shift gears, then someone needs something, then you sit there scratching your head as you run out of time.

Too kool!

I think the best part was the gas tank I built did not leak!!!!!!

When I was trying to get it to fire, I had a build up of gas which made for a good shot. I pulled this image from some of the video:

Gary, you must be really happy to hit this milestone. Congratulations! That's an awesome looking motor and I am sure it also sounds amazing in person. Those stacks are spectacular too. Keep the momentum and post more progress pics!

Thanks Mark, seems like the last 10% can be the most difficult some times.

Too true — although I think it is probably just that you are so close, any delay hurts because it pushes out the completion in a very immediate way. At the beginning it's easy to believe that everything is moving along at the proper pace (even when it's not really) because the completion date is a long way out. Hang in there. It will be so worth it when you are finally finished.

When you look back, the pain of the delays will fade away very quickly — just like the objects in your rear-view mirror!

Congrats!

well put Mark! Eye on the prize man....eye on the prize! She's gonna be amazing.

I think when you start marking things off the list you end up with a few things on the list which....take more thought and time. Some times you do things, cross them off the list, think about it, then decide that was not acceptable so they go back on the list.

For instance, my fuel line and regulator run behind the tank next to the rear window. I was trying to keep it away form the exhaust. It was one of those things that haunts me. I know if ----I mean when I have a problem it will be nearly inaccessible when the window goes in which means I need to change it and re-plumb it which means back on the list!

The electric power steering pump tank was that way. I modified the plastic tank to move the return line but it was not a good solution. I knew I needed to go back in and re do it.

That meant a couple hours getting the pump out of it's fox hole, which meant undoing the front cooling tubes, building a new tank, put it all back together.

That is done and it does not leak which is fantastic; but it was a dreaded item on the list...and there are a few left.






The next dreaded item is making a new removable bubble from scratch which works with my console and is completely independent and removable. I do have the metal cut but it is just one more thing which takes time and focus.

Building a car is nothing but a list of problem solving....one at a time.

Nice Gary ... looks like you have made great progress since we spoke ... I have been side tracked by 2 - Boss 302 Restorations ... anyway good luck

I work hard at not getting side tracked. Even projects on the P-car side track me. Look where the turn signal project went:
