What a day!
It took me three hours to install the headlight relays,..laying on my back, unable to get both hands on the wires that needed to be crimped, but I managed. I think the problem is licked.

I drove the car today,...Even made a couple of vids. I put two of them together, and did some crude splicing but the desired effect is conveyed...

It's driveable fellas,....It is just a blast to think that this thing is a six that originally couldn't get out of it's own way. This, at 7p.s.i.
Good news! I suppose that "I think the problem is licked" means they're passing the running and driving test?
BUT... the video is asking me to sign in. Never had to for your others. Is there a setting you could change? I wanna see it!

LOL and that little celebration at the end. "Did you see that Marty? 0 to 88 mph in the blink of an eye!"

Man, you could just tell near the end when the Monster was rolling up. It is such a different sound than the every day DD cars passing by. Dare I say it sounds like a Viper V10 idling when you parked it?

That was freakin' great !

That thing is a monster !

I can see you now....terrorizing school kids in the neighborhood....just to move and upset the new neighbors.
 
And to top it all off, I drove it for 30 minutes ...In the dark, On the interstate, with the lights on. The car is done. :banana:

Done in the sense that there is still tinkering and maintenance left,..but done nonetheless.

I have listened to this vid numerous times now,..I can say that it is even more defined through earphones...With ear buds, you can hear me start it way up the road in the last vid,..you can hear the stupid TB whistle even more pronounced,...you can hear the Tires screaming differently, you can hear the Viper wannabe exhaust note when I pull in (shoulda edited out the gap between the drive by, and the return),..but what the hell,..I just started learning You tube video editing this afternoon.

So,...I gotta clean the thing up. We finally got our water usage restriction lifted,..I can wash the car. So I can now buff the passenger side,....(Just the top of the fender,..I ain't doing nothin' to the side surfaces other than a glazing..)
