IT'S ALIVEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Post by Guest »

My very supportive friends:

I am pleased to inform all of you that my 1968 1600 is officially ALIVE as of today, February 21, 2004 @ 4:30pm.

I finally got the wiring going, and after pumping some gas into the lines, that baby cranked up without any hesitation at all!!!!!!!

It is steady and fine, although quite noisy without the exhaust pipes.....it's from the manifold to the world!!!!!!

Now I need to mount the body back so I can take out for it's first spin!!!!!!

Thanks to all...and I'll keep you updated once the BAR is over on thursday Feb 26........

It is a good feeling indeed.....but I have some concerns that I posted under the title "Did I damage it?" Take a look and give me your opinion.....and thanks for the words of "congratulations"!
