I finally started the Formula up today. I had some trouble with the fuel lines, for some reason the metal line from the middle of the car up to the fuel pump is completely plugged. I couldn't even clear it with 100 psi of air pressure. I bypassed it with rubber hose in order to start the car but I'll need to replace the metal line. It would have been easy with the engine out, but now I expect it will be a real pain in the a**. Anyway, the car started right up and ran fine during break in. (Sorry, no video since I had my hands full, but here is a picture of it out in the sun). The engine had good oil pressure and the temp never went above 190. I have some things to take care of before I take it for a drive, but it sure was nice moving it back into the garage under it's own power instead of having to push it.
