Ok not much for pics yet but I did get a few clamps on the exhaust, set timing, and topped off trans fluid. I pulled the car out of my buddies garage and drove it down the driveway of his farm. It seems to shift good so in Glenn's honor I "spewed fumes in a smokey burnout" Though I went easy with only half throttle it was plenty to launch the car and smoke the tires. So next will be working out electrical bugs in the dash guages and then onto the body.
