Default so close to running i can taste it

i can taste it maybe not but i can at least smell the marvel mystery oil from the me oiling down the cylinders.i had a problem with the starting circuit on the mustang went to remove the starter and realive the header was touching the starter terminal[:@] i had to remove the passenger tri y and dimple the header slightly, but i got that straightned out all i need now is the my radiator i ordered and a few gallons of gas and maybe just maybe it will run and i can button up the rest of the car scratch the paint and rebase and clear the car( painted the car single stage to seal all hte body work from the elements)

thanks but i drove down to don barry's mustang on my brothers bike then got drenched on the way home[:'(] i could pour the water out of my shoes lol and it didnt feel to good since i had shorts on and a shorts sleeve shirt felt like accupunture or something along those lines at 80-90mph, but i got the pulley for 20$ so it wasnt to bad
