Oh I am my friend. I am. Got around 150 miles on it now.
A Highway Patrol buddy scared the crap out of me, pulling up along side me on the Interstate yesterday.
When I looked over and saw him flying a thumbs up and mouthing "that is bad F'ing a$$" I was greatly relieved.
Of course we had to pull over and chat for a bit. He loved it, I roared off from the side of the road when we left, him and his rider were videoing and taking pics, other traffic was freaking out. It was comical.

We reset the valves/lifters yesterday, re-tightened all bolts accessible, and checked voltages to the rear batteries. All is good. I love it. It took me 51 years to get the car I wanted, and I am loving it.
Can't wait until I can get a set of rims/slicks, and take it down the track. It should do low 10's.

You are "loving it" so is all of us. Have fun driving it.

Nice vid and love the touch with the mailbox!

Re: Mayhems 71 Nova
 

Thanks Paul. Obviously no traction on the street. Was just playing around on the first nice day in a while,
after just replacing the radiator. Was really hoping to get it to the track this year, and there is a street meet this weekend,
but track temps have cooled significantly. We still have some warm nice days left, but the ground has gotten cold until Spring.
SO I will probably not rush it and just wait until then. I hope to get some GoPro video up soon, as opposed to the crappy phone vid.
