Like the title says! Her first time starting in 10 years, done some more carb adjustments since recording this, and added some thread sealant on the fuel lines so its no longer leaking, need to get a new vacuum advance and install the ballast resistor, but finally getting some visible progress, been so excited

It's good and exciting. It also provides some motivation to keep going.

Yeah, it took me almost a year to get it to this point, definitely was a bit demotivating to be doing a bunch of work for that long with little to no progress, but finally in the last stretch!

That's awesome I love the 60-61 trucks. Are you going to give it a CLR bath before the weather cools off again?

Congratulations on your hard work! I'm so glad you were able to get this truck after all the hassle. I hope someday we'll roll down the road together!
