No pics, but it did get driven today! John came over and we drove it to Georges.
Choke needs adjustment and I might need to replace the starter but it ran. Very cool to actually drive it this year. I hope to drive it to the Nov. gtg. Heat seemed to work quite well. Needs to be aligned again; still is not right. Burrowed George's porta-power to try to straighten the front end. That should be an adventure! I will try to get some better updates on here. Seems I have been working more and documenting less lately.

I am pleased with the look overall. George took it for a spin so I was able to see it go down the road. That was cool.
Exciting to actually get the car on the road this fast. We picked this car up on June 7th I believe. So that means we got it on the road in just under 5 months.

I'm working on it. Right now I am fighting the starter, distributor, and wipermotor. Getting a little frustrated.

Thanks to the help of AJ, Steven, and John my car now starts, runs and the wipers work!
Yes, I know PICTURES! Maybe I can get it outside tomorrow and get some.
