These cars look good no matter what color they are but I started this project with Emberglo in my mind.

Ok, Had to bring the car out of the garage for the certified car appraiser this morning and snapped some quick pictures. Seems my insurance company wanted the car appraised before writing an insurance policy. Now that the car is ready to go to a painter it's best it is insured in case...

Rick, I think of my car as four Harley's with loud pipes. You will hear me coming if not feel your car start vibrating. It's safer that way.

John, I'm happy with first and reverse gears so far :laugh: that's all I have used going down the block and back. I did have it up on stands and shifted through all the gears so everything works and no strange noises. The gearing is as follows, Diff. 3.78 1st 2.23 2nd 1.47 3rd 1.04 4th .846 5th...

Drive shafts came Monday so tonight I went for a short drive down the street. Learning how to drive on the right side and a new transmission shift pattern. Yes it's fun! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5eisggNjcI&feature=youtu.be You may have to copy and paste it.

Would love to come and meet the other GT40 people in the state. Not sure I will have mine driving by that time but I can bring pictures. A great idea to have a meeting. Don

Thanks Howard for this post. I do love looking at the machines! Don

PM sent Kirby. Thanks,

Ordered my plates today. Getting closer everyday. Don

I learn something cool everyday. Had not seen the Peterson remote filter/primer pump. Gives me something new to think about. Thanks for the info Jac Mac. Don

I do like the idea of running a wire from the start terminal on the Ford starter relay to run the fuel pump to start the engine than let the oil pressure switch determine in the fuel pump continues to run. I do have the fuel pump running thru a relay so it would be very simple to wire as you...

Thanks everyone for the words of encouragement. It does sound good for not running for eight + years. Leon, black VHT wrinkle paint and a heat gun does the trick. I prefer to stay out of the kitchen ;) Don

So true Dimi!

Had some friends over this morning for the official first start. I did know it was going to run because I found the oil leak, gas leak and two water leaks before this moment but not had it run more than 30 sec. before I found something wrong. The first start was cold if you can understand...

Scott, Looking good! You are making it look easy which it is not. The AC system is a tight fit as you know. Keep up the good work. Don

I know everyone likes pictures so this a little detail look at what it's looking like as of last night. <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:TrackMoves/> <w:TrackFormatting/> <w:PunctuationKerning/> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/>...
