Hey Walt,
It's better to link your video to photo bucket or youtube. I don't know if it is possible to upload videos here. I'm thinking not. Come on man! We want to see the big event. You know the rule is, " if there is no pic or video, it didn't happen!!" Just kidding. While we're waiting, how about some build details.
Thanks,
WEK.

It's sort of like watching your child go off to kindergarten for the first day of school. It can only happen once. Congrats.

Sweet, congrats!!!!!
I'm building a basic kit using an 89 GT that didn't run , the woman I bought it from said her husband had the motor rebuilt before he died, there were no keys and the gas tank turned out to have water in it so didn't know if it was any good or not, paid $500 for it and towed it home.

walt, nothing better then the first start. now go go-karting...
I would really like to go kart but still have no wheels from FFR they are telling me 3 or 4 more weeks, will have to do other stuff like body work.

Walt,
You sure can't get burned on a $500 dollar donor even if you use just a little of it. Did you say you're doing your own body work. Me too!!! My hands are so sore I have to lay off for a few days and then get back to it. Good luck on the rest of your project.
WEK.
My plan is to do as much as I can on sanding and filling , to pay a shop is way out of my budget for a while. I think I really lucked out on my donor engine , it started up and sounds strong.
