Hot Rods Fire in the Hole!

So, I'm double posting, but I'm so geeked about firing the Hemi in the Model A today that I'm gonna break my arm patting myself on the back, and wanted to share my good news with those not following my roadster build.
Tomorrow I'll get some gas in the tank and we'll let it run a minute or so, I'm super excited!

 

Yeah baby!

 

Well done!
That is a thrill, I just experienced it with the $200 283 for my 40.
The Desoto in my pickup is on hold temporarily, and I’m looking forward to that day!

 

I had fired this engine before, just once, for about this long, before I pulled it out of the '52 DeSoto wagon we bought to replace the wrecked '51 Pontiac. The guy we bought it from hadn't done much with it, his statement was, "I couldn't get it to start". One set of points wasn't opening. I spent about 20 minutes messing around with it as soon as I got it off the trailer, it fired on whatever old gas was in the lines. Going through the stuff with the car I found receipts for machine work and parts totaling thousands, so I had confidence it was a good engine. It should be fun!

 

WOOO. HOOOOOO

 

Congrats.

 

At first I thought this thread as about the Tacos I ate last night.
BUT...I like your story BETTER. Congrats on a successful start up

 

Very cool.

 

" The sleeper awakens "
Very cool !

 

Waiting for the properly fired up video.........

 

So Brian ya think you'll make it to Gilmore with one?

 

this

 

I don’t know model A’s had 32 frames? Nice with the Hallock windshield.

 

The windshield's
Cut down
Split V
Swept back
Tuck 'n' roll seats
And the Hemi will set you back

 

Well, the coolest ones all do...

 

That's my goal, I'm pretty close, but there's a lot to do yet to have it move under it's own power.

 

"Brian McCool" LOL!

Cant wait to hear it fired up!!

 

Well ain't you cool! Have fun!

 

... Hope to see it at the Nats North ... congrats!
