We have all of the brake system done and ready to roll, and the electrical system all seems to be working order. All of the gauges and lights are working, and the clock is working perfectly again. Even the key buzzer is working.
 We've got the engine just about ready to test fire. As soon as I hear it run for a few seconds we'll finish assembly of the Judge and then it goes for final detaling and then to auction. Notice the colored stripes on the radiator hoses:

Looks amazing and done superbly. Besides Tieman you are the only one I have ever seen that does the striped hoses. I posted this topic here a while back and no one replied. I have seen both yellow and all blue, they look great. I have a set of blue striped hoses I will be installing on my car soon. An old timer a while ago told me they were utilized to indicate a twisted hose on the line. Did you have them silk screened locally?

It was a great morning this morning, because the Judge fired up on the very first try!
 No matter how many cars I do, hearing an engine that I built run for the first time is always a rush.Click the picture to see the video of the Ram Air III coming to life:  Now that I know she runs, we can get the rest of the car put together and everything tuned in perfectly. Here is the original Harrison radiator going back in. We sent that out and had it completely gone through and re-cored.

The Judge is now sporting all it's original date-coded glass from front to back. We even saved the 1978 inspection sticker in the windshield because it's in perfect condition.
All the stainless trim is being polished before installation.

The front fenders are now painted, polished and mounted on the car. Final adjustments and alignment won't be made until I get the hood mounted.
We also have the front and rear valances ready to go. Just a few details left to go!

Jason,
What a great job you are doing on that car. What are the chances of seeing that beauty in Saratoga Springs for the GTO nationals? Nap |

Thanks so much Napster! This Judge is going to go up for auction as soon as it's finished because I just don't have the time to drag it all over the country to show it at all the big shows......... so if it is at the Nationals it will probably be with it's new owner.

Jason if you ever sat down and explained your procedures and the paint products that you use, it would be an awsome resto guide!!
The car just keeps getting better. |

Jason, if you'd drive that car around for about a month, we could turn you into an A body guy for sure.
I couldn't sell that car to save my life. Beautiful.
