After 2 years our hard work paid off!!

After 2 long years my son Jeff and myself with no previous car experience totally took apart and restored every part on this car better than new. It was an amazing journey as we learned so much and a lot of it the hard way. It is sort of sad finishing as we had a great time celebrating our small victories everyday and learning from our mistakes. Today Jeff got the honors of the first drive. The most amazing part was that it actually started and almost everything worked. Jeff first drove around our building all seemed good so we branched out to around the block and then a couple of miles. A few things to sort out and we will be ready for our first show at Bella Italia. I would highly recommend spending time with your teenage son doing something productive together.

We wrapped up basically everything and hope to have the first drive tomorrow!

The last of the parts are being installed and the first drive is not far off!

The engine was put on a test stand where it was run for 6 heat cycles. The bolts were retorqued and the valves adjusted. It is now ready to go into the Dino.
