Let's Get Ready to Ruuuuuuuumble! - Now with video

Tomorrow is a big step in my '58 Chevy build, after a 4 month thrash it's time to fire the motor up. A wiped cam lobe forced me to freshen up the 454 and things kinda snowballed from there. In the morning I'll get my usual gas station coffee and a fiver of fresh fuel, if everything goes well it'll be running by noon. Wish me luck...

 

Good luck, looks great!

 

how about a video of the start ?

 

Can`t wait to see the whole truck. Lookin good.

 

After all the hard work now comes the fun part.

I hope it all goes well today and she purrs like a kitten!!!!!!!!!!!

Due to complications I didn't get the truck fired up until last night. With everything else going on I didn't do any video of the initial fire-up but I shot one this morning while I was out in the garage...

sounds good.....looks good.....

 

Looking great!

 

Took 'er out for a spin tonight, it's the first time the truck has moved under it's own power since Halloween.,,

 

That is a very nice truck. You should be proud.

 

engine sounds great and the truck looks good. I know It sucks not being able to drive your baby but the pay-off now is a reliable driver . Great Job.

 

Great looking set up.
And I bet it is a blast to drive too.
Cheers........
