    Been building my 53 chevy bel air for 4 yrs. And Saturday I drove it around the neighborhood for the first time. What a great feeling of accomplishment. Still need to work out some of the bugs, but still a great day! ImageUploadedByTJJ1351051923.071045.jpg

    No matter how many times you have done it, there is always a rush when you step on the gas for the first time and the car actually moves. :D

    We all share your excitement and feeling of accomplishment.

    Very cool car!

    It's fun to build them, it's fun to show them off, but nothing beats actually getting behind the wheel. ENJOY!
     
  13. Well Done - I can't wait for my first drive in my '32

    You've got yourself a nice looking kustom. I feel your excitement, dude... I'm looking forward to the first drive in my '51 after working on it for what probably amounts to be hundreds of hours in the past year and a half.
