I bought my '48 Chevy 3100 on August 4, 1990, and today, 17 years, one month and 28 days later, I drove it down the street for the first time!
It's not registered, and there's a lot of work to do yet, but after messing with the tranny linkages today, it left the garage and went around the block a few times.
I'm freaking stoked!
