Alright so it runs and drives! Kind of...haha. It runs great and sounds real nice. Just having some issues with the clutch. you put it to the floor but the car will start rolling as soon as you crank it over if you try to start it in gear and you can't get it into gears while driving. But I did get some burnout videos in! Ill get some links posted

IT's ALIVE !!!!!

Holy smoke All I could think about was the hood flying up and a new ad in the Wanted section for one!

Are you sure you clutch is fully disengaging? I think it might need an adjustment.

Do you have a slave, cable or linkage?

Yeah it almost popped up but I hit the brakes in time lol. It's got a hydraulic throw out bearing and an f-bodd clutch master. It's my error that's got it not fully disengaging. The way everything is mounted the rod put of the master stuck past the mount on the pedal so I shortened it. So now I don't think it's pushing it in as far as it should so I need to put the correct size rod back in the master and get the pedal to come forward more so it will get a full push

I run hoodless ;)
It rains to much here for that and I don't have a garage lol. I have a nice hood for it this one just happened to be the closest one to toss on it when I needed to stick it outside

Finally have it on the road! Still needs a bunch of bugs worked out but it drives and is legal! Need to get the interior all in, finish all the body work, suspension work, and other things in the near future. But I'm just excited to drive it for now!
