Mike-Yes I'm behind schedule again, I didn't get everything done before I left on vacation. I left cookies and milk out but the fairy's didn't do anything for me
Dave- We went to fire it today but I think my ECM is burnt up I have a computer guy coming over in the morning to check it. He asked me if I have been welding on the car with it mounted, I have, but it isn't plugged in. So I don't know, I'll know tomorrow.
25Tbucket-Thank you for the nice comments, I'm glad you like it. I will like it better if it starts tomorrow
Don Jr.-Thank you Don.
Since it won't startI decided to get the trunk sheet metal in. This will be held in place with the steel upholstery clips and the covers for the access panels will be held in place with Velcro. I can hide some small stuff inside of those.

I like the side panels in metal instead of the cardboard stuff..... They'll keep their shape a whole lot better. More great work, Ken!!! Congrats!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Ken I've been leaving beer and donuts out in the garage and no luck either, the fairies must be on holiday!
Seriously it's great to see you back at it."

Ken, congrats on finding the problem, glad to hear it wasn't something serious or time consuming. Be sure to let us know how the first ride goes, will be expecting to hear back from you this weekend with a huge grin.
BTW, it was great talking to you the other day, I really appreciate the helpful information and tips.

Are you going to take us along for a little YouTube ride?
Looks great Ken. How did it sound?

I don't have a clue how to do that. My phone has a video card so I can record it, but I don't know how to get it to my computer.
It sounds BITCHEN' I put a lumpy Comp cam in it.
Well, I ask my grandson if he knew how to do this, he says sure. We did it but it doesn't even sound like my car, it sounds like a lawn mower. I'll try my regular camera tomorrow, unless anyone has a suggestion.

Have a safe ride and have your grandson change the blinking 12:00 clock on the VCR.

Yes folks even the pro's run into road blocks. The difference is, Ken always has a "buddy" who can help out when needed. And Ken, if you say you're not a pro, God will strike you down! You're work is incredible. Congrats on getting her cranked up.

I'd like to hear this one too.
I've been so impressed by your build and now that I've done my wiring I can't believe how nicely you have yours all layed out. I think getting all the lines and wires to look clean has been one of the hardest and most time consuming steps I've done.
Thanks for having such detailed threads.

Ken
That wiring and plumbing job is simply fantastic! You do great work. That's one fine car.
Good luck on the test drive.

Ken,
Are you going to have to dissassemble all of that work for paint?

My grandfather, mom's side, drove a 39 Plymouth coupe when I was about 4 or 5 and I thought it was pretty cool and I loved the tail fins on the 49 Cadillac. I drew cars when I was in the 5th and 6th...
How did you get hooked on cars?
