Great to see it up and running, it just needed a little fine tuning

So happy for your first drive. I am working on a 71 Riviera 1600. Got it going rebuilt motor and brakes but now dealing with a turn signal switch wire fire. Dash is out. Cant wait for my first drive. Hopefully next weekend. Like your videos! Your excitement with the drive was awesome!

Thats awesome to hear, hopefully you figure out the wiring and get that first drive!!! Thank you i hope it inspires others to do the same and enjoy them!

Yeah, I thought so. Mine did it the other week too. Faulty relay tho which killed my starter (because it was engaged whenever it wanted) No fun rewiring it on the side of the road! Got home and replaced the starter the next day. Then took it up to Whistler last weekend. Slow moving up the hills, but it got there and back without issues. And head temps were about 345f max

Thanks man!

Theory becomes reality when the rubber meets the road! Now it's justifiable to do the fine tuning. Enjoy
