Technical French Flatty 59A clone Pt 6. First start! First Drive! But is it ok?

Hello. Welcome to this week's video from Mart's Garage. Yup, I manage to get the French Flatty 59A clone finished and installed in the truck. In this video I cover the last few little jobs to make it run, carry out the all important first start, and then get it out on the road.
So join me in the garage and the truck and lets see how it all turns out!
Thanks for tuning in.
Mart.

 

Great first run! Thanks for your videos.

 

Thanks for sharing Mart!

Always enjoy watching your video's. Over the years, you've enlightened me to quite a few things I didn't know.
Keep at it Mart. Cheers!

 

@Mart Enjoyed the ride around the countryside. Glad the truck is back on the road. I was wondering if I missed it along the way, but did you show the modification to the back of the block to clear the firewall? I saw the removal of the large boss but not the finish of the hole/oil passages.

 

Thanks Mart. Enjoyed the ride.

Another great video Mart.

 

Thanks 4 the ride Mart. Love the video including a nice little look at some of"Jolly Ole England". Hope the whiring's some simple little thing. Seems to run real nice. CHEERS!

Thanks for all the kind words fellas. The rest of the block mods were covered towards the end of part 2.

 

@Mart Thanks for the update, must have had a minor brain malfunction, missed the last little bit of that episode.

 

Congratulations Mart. Thanks for taking us along for the ride
