Excellent video!!!!! 16:31 ........ That scared the crap out of me too......

[@520speedworks6]

No Kidding Jon. We have to remember how light these cars are. At this stage I would say 1700 pounds. I always check the stands when we put cars up, because I had a race car fall on top of me. Lucky for me I was in area under it where I didnt get hurt. LOL

Great job Greg

[@520speedworks6]

Thanks we are getting there!

Excellent progress. Odd that the distributor would be off 30 degrees having just run when you bought it.

[@520speedworks6]

Well it goes to show you got to be careful who you trust. We only saw a video of it running, when we got there to pick it up there was evidence of a small fire. Nothing damage just fire extinguisher powder. Because the car had been wrecked it would have been too janky to try and start.(i.e alternator wire ripped out of the terminal and bare. Motor had broken free and moved forward 10 inches. Soo we played it safe and didn't try. What we should have done was make sure it was correct when we had it apart.

Like a top

Dude! You have shoes on!!! OMG, did the sandal's evaporate? :O) One step closer (no pun) to the finish line.

[@520speedworks6]

LOL Glenn no my Jamaican Safety Sandals are safe and sound back on my feet. It was winter and my toes were cold. We are getting there!

[@520speedworks6]

The distributor was not stabbed correctly and gas in the side pipes made a fire ball between my legs. LOL
