Day 51 (August 29, 2008)

Brakes were bled. Double 90 stainless steal scrap fuel line was fabricated and installed next to radiator to complete the coolant lines. Dave put in rear window glass. Gage holes were cut in dash. Sway bar and bushings were put under front end, but not connected. Temperature wiring and gages were mocked up to start car. Car first fired at 8:20pm. After replacing a bad transmission cooler line, the bug was refired, and car moved on its own for the first time at 8:33pm. (2 monthes to the day after starting the project)
