Christophers First Drive in the 66

  Most of the mechanical work has been done and we have been doing prep for painting. Fenders, hood and doors are off the car being prepped and sanded. Christopher wanted to take it for a test spin just to feel how it drove.
  We started it with just headers and he drove it around the block. It was the first time since 1978 it has moved under its own power.

Checking out the temp gauge. We added Water Wetter and the gauge never got more than 1/3 when the electric fan kicked in.

Here are 2 short videos I shot of the First Drive.
