First fire of the engine today! Ran it for 20 minutes to break in the cam. Ran cool 160 degrees and held a study 45 lbs. pressure for the break in period. I'm happy! No leaks, oil, trans fluid or water. Just brakes, front shocks and a throttle pedal left to do before driving.

Slow progress lately. I have the lights working. Took the original harness and modified it for what I wanted to keep in the circuit. Also finished the battery box. I haven't bolted on the front fenders yet. Still have to do the brakes.

Drove the bomb today. Still needs lots of work. At least its moving at this point. :)

Falcon is driving. The shifter is junk as are the rear axle seals. Ordered a set of c-clip eliminators, 4:10 gears and a pro ratchet shifter. I also installed new rear springs. Now the slapper bars need to be shimmed. I think I'm going to build a old school long square tubing set of bars instead. It's come along way. lol

4:10 gears are in. C-clip eliminators and shifter. Big improvement. lol
