I drove the Ol Allstate to a buddy's shop for him to align the front end. It was the first time the car has been driven since 1981 and it was fun for sure.
Here is some video.

Do you think you will have the car at the Hot Rod Reunion in Bowling Green. It would be great to see it there.

Maybe, It really depends how things go at Ohio Valley this weekend. I am not registered for BG. and usually it is too hot for me. But I would love to go, and be there with like minded people.

Thanks,
Mark

Driving out of the Shop for the first time. Testing the brakes before going for a short ride.

Very shaky at first.

Thanks Jim,
If we can get the bugs out, and the trailer ready, then we will make some test runs Saturday. Now they are calling for rain!? I will ignore that and we will push forward. I have help coming today.

Hey Eric,
I have a few things to finish. Door panels for one, and some bugs to get out, But it sure is nice to be able to start it and go!
I am using the Car Chemistry baffles inside the headers. A lot of guys on Moparts don't like them, but I didn't read that until after I had designed my system around them. If they are a problem for the cars performance I will simply take them out.

Thanks for the encouragement along the way.

Thanks Lee, we are getting closer to ironing out the bugs.
I appreciate it Jeff.
Arno, your day for your first ride in that fine coupe is getting closer. I tell you it is a great feeling, for you to look forward too.
We worked on the car again today. The line lock is not working. Fixed the push off kill switch, and will be moving a brake line. Also trying get my trailer ready to go to a local reunion race this Saturday. 1/8th mile.


Thanks Guys,
Mark

MARK, congrats on the killer J do i miss it you ask ?? a little over 28 years ago i pulled that cuda out of a cotton field in mississippi, as a rust free shell, it went thru a few changes over the years, till i finally had the cash to turn it in to the pro street machine i always wanted as a kid, if my work schedule was more off tiem friendly, ide of kept it im sure,,and made a few more changes,,probably turned it in to a more of a pro touring type car,, as i sell off the tons of extra parts ive collected over the years, i start to realize that its gone,,,,thanks for asking enjoy your J

Thanks David,
We have the kill switch working now, and I have a new line lock coming tomorrow to replace the Summit unit that doesn't work. I won't have time to have it "scaled" before we go, so I will have to feel it out on the first couple passes. That will be Saturday if the weather permits.
Thanks,
Mark
