Default Finally got my '89 LX running!

It's been three years since I last drove my '89 LX. I tore it apart to build it into a serious contender in NMRA True Street. I had no idea how hard it would be. At any rate, we fired it up for the first time last Friday at MPR in Boynton Beach (they built the 427"). Well, the car's back home now and I'm working on tying up a few loose ends before we put the car on the dyno. Here's a short video my buddy recorded the other day when I pulled it out of the garage to turn it around. Maybe it's pathetic that I'm so excited about driving the car 100 feet, but hey, it's been a while!

Thanks guys. Hope to be driving it around town next month. I'm just wrapping up a few loose ends before we strap it to the dyno.
