    The car is about 700 dollars and 8 hours of work away from being race-ready. I'm firing up the motor tonight with open headers and I'm going to try and purge into the motor at RPM to see if I can REALLY scare the neighbors!

    BTW, anyone headed to the Super Bowl at Route 66 this weekend?

    I see you are not a new member by your join date but you haven't posted much. The only reason I bring this up is because I have never seen a pic of your car before. That is an AWESOME looking car. I would love to see more of a side profile shot of it if you get a chance. Is this a drag car only or a street car also? Anyways, I hope all goes great for your startup/break in keep us posted.

    Am I the only one that gets really nervous firing up a motor for the first time after a rebuild?
