old rat 49 Posted October 18, 2010 Report Posted October 18, 2010 Had to use a lawn chair to sit in and only had parking brake for stopping but I finally drove it arround the block for the first time. Now I am HAPPY !!!!!!!! So much still to do but now I can envision it on the road. Quote

40phil41 Posted October 18, 2010 Report Posted October 18, 2010 Sounds just like the first time I drove my '40 around the block. However, mine stalled about half way around but I was able to get it going again. Still a very happy experience. Phil Quote

rustyzman Posted October 19, 2010 Report Posted October 19, 2010 I hear ya! First trip around the block was a couple months ago. That is the kick I needed to really rev up and get it to the car show last week. Finished or not, just getting on the road for a short jaunt is a great feeling. Keep going! Quote
