She still needs some fine tuning, but with that being said she really sounds good. It has been a long time since I've heard the old girl; I felt like a kid at x-mas when the old bolt fired over.
Does anyone have any initial start up stories to share, good or bad?
I just had to share, I haven't been this excited about the '57 in some time.

He had as much fun as I did on that first run! | | |
