It's alive! I used the 10 10 10 method for break in. Nothing broke, no leaks, steady oil pressure at 65psi. I still need to tune it. This is the first time since '83 this car had a running engine.

The stance on this car is killer! Everything is, but the stance is dead on

First drive a success! I was terrified but ecstatic all at the same time! Next time I'll get a better video it definitely needs an alignment.

Pulled off mid drive. https://youtu.be/lR6vxlRJFhI?feature=shared https://www.instagram.com/reel/C0IeQ...RlODBiNWFlZA== More to come I promise! Last edited by jbtech; 11-28-2023 at 02:38 AM.

Project update photo dump. Can't believe this car has been off the road 40 years! Sorry if there are duplicates it's tricky uploading one at a time from my phone. This project is a huge undertaking but I'd like to give a special shout out to Bentley who went out of his way to help me get this car and has been so patient with my constant messages! Bentley, Darrell and I are in a group chat and are always guiding me and even sending me ads to parts I need. Thanks guys! Also shout out to everyone here who are following this build, supplying parts, and encouragement. Thanks to Bruce Cremean the original owner who has been fully supportive along the way. Thanks everyone! Next up interior, alignment, bumpers, exhaust.
