THEM! TX update from the Thrusday thrash

[OldCarPilot]

It was productive as hell for me. Thanks to Flt-blk, Markx, K&R, Flexi, Honest, ThunderRocket, to 67imp.wagon (who came late but was very supportive! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif), and my wife for pitching in where she could and taking on the roll of baby sitter.

We got the rear end in with very little problems. I'll let Tyler tell you about how to get the hardware to do it as he LOVES the story!
To everyone supprise the 235 fired right up! And sounded great! Need a fuel pump now, but the engine seems to run great.
Next step is to slap together a drive shaft so that it can just move at least a little under its own power.
We got more done tonight than I had hopped and it really didn't take all that long to get done.

Thanks again everyone! That was awesome!

Kirstie and Tyler figuring out the rear.

You got a deal! When and where can I pick it up?

[OldCarPilot]

Rear end in and done!

[OldCarPilot]

Next was the motor. Can't thank Honest enough for getting the rest of this thing together for me!
This is how we started to fire it off. Can from Lonestar beer and some gas. The only thing that we were a little sad about is that there was NO fire. The engine ran perfectly!

[OldCarPilot]

We got a little more inventive on this. K&R and ThunderRocket risked their lives playing with all the gas. But like I said to our disappointment there was no fire. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif So no one got hurt.

I'll let you know when I either take it off the motor or find the ones that should be in the box inside of the car. I'll PM my addy now though.

Small update. Got a fuel pump from Seymour today and got that in. Works great. Fires right up. Rigged the gas pedal so I can start it from the cab. I'll have the stuff to make wather flow through it by tomorrow, not sure if the radiator I have will work or not yet though.
