Finally....................Here is one of the first drive videos. Getting used to the power as well as manual steering and drum brakes.
Your excitement during the first drive says it all. That was awesome.
Glad to see this in the road! Awesome story and awesome car!

Man, watching that reminds me of driving my first 340, 4 speed Dart, many moons ago. So happy for you Scott, you will be doing mile long burn outs in no time. Congratulations.

I could not stop smiling..........
Thanks Pauly!
Crazy how stiff the throttle pedal is, the heavy clutch too. What an experience!I wet myself with your 1st stab at gas pedal!
Thanks. It was the best experience, nothing like it!
Thank you Sir!
Thanks. It does sound great, I am so happy having it home!
Thanks Jeff. It was such an awesome experience and something I will never forget.

Thanks, I appreciate you following the journey!
glad to see you made it back A-ok.
I'm sure Sean told you.....Hemis are inherently cold blooded, even with a choke (not sure if you have any?), let it warm up sufficiently. And be careful on those street tires, mashing the gas in about any gear can and likely will spin you out.
enjoy the ride,
Denny
