...the Belairbolt is operational. 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.

Know what ya mean.I remember the first time I fired my 55 up after the modifications.It was running right off of the headers,no pipes or mufflers.First drive was to the exhaust shop to have the Flowmaster system installed.About a 10 mile drive.A very loud ride.Went to pick it up the next day and boy did it sound sweet,exhausting thru the Flowmasters.Since then I have made many more improvements to it,but that first drive to the exhaust shop was the best.

I gave my ASE Certified Triple Master mechanic older brother the honor of the first run around the block. I'm extremely fortunate to have such a resource!

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