Customs I took my 51' out for the first drive (videos ) and some far away profile shots!!

God I'm stoked today, I finally drove her around the neighborhood and it was the greatest feeling to drive something that i built!!. 18 months ago i picked up this turd of a car and i had no idea that i would actually drive it one day. I didnt know shit about cars, and i still don't!! But anyways today i drove her and i took some profile shots from far away as my work space is very tight and i had no idea what she really looked like. I can't lie , I was a little bit scared to see her outside my tight garage. I still have to make her run better but she wants to go for sure. Next week it's off to paint to Jeff ( FINKD) in KS , then upholstery. I will have her done for XMAS mooneyes for sure!! HUGE thank you to my amazing wife for cheering me up when i was beyond down on myself and all i wanted was to put her up for sale. I'm glad i didn't!!!
