Congratulations, Mike!  I know the sweet feeling of starting it up for the
first time after a lot of work.

Well after 18 months of work, I pushed the button today with the help of my
race rabbit friend Dave Barton and the car started.  We had a few minor
issues
that a quick call to Jeff Quick in Seattle help solve.  I am attaching the
link to the you tube video my son shot.  I have some small isuses.  Water
leaks with my Ford aluminum radiator, the rear of the valve cover is leaking
and the new water pump is squealing (could be the pulley rubbing on the
bolts)
and the oil temp gauge is not working.  By the end of the day i drove it
around the block.  You can hear the water pump in the video.  

I am pretty
excited!!
