Thanks! Not going to lie, got a little emotional during the second video seeing it "alive" again. 8)

That was Steve and Jordan in the video. Steve is his youngest son and Jordan is a good friend of the family. We were making jokes saying that my uncle would say, "what the f*** did you do to my car?!" lol

LOL! Sounds like your Uncle was quite a guy. Unfortunately, mine are all gone now. Good to see family and friends sharing the moment. Definitely better with family.

Thanks!

Just got back in from the garage. Been having an issue where the radiator fan wasn't coming on. Narrowed it down to the radiator fan switch. Ordered a new one and now the fan runs as it should. Since I could leave it running for a long period I was able to bleed the coolant system, calibrate the ECU and play with the idle some more.

My cousin is coming over soon to help me with the hard brake lines and bleed all four corners. Then I can torque the wheels down and take her off the jack stands. Once off the stands I can adjust the suspension height. 8)

Long exhausting night but she is now off the stands!


Made a custom bracket for the spark plug wires to keep them from flopping around.
