Heck yeah! I haver cars here that have been on the "back burner" for a few years, just simmering until I can get around to them.
It feels great taking that maiden voyage even if the car squeaks, pops and rattles. A buddy of mine was restoring a 71 Challenger. After body and paint, he was anxious to get the drivetrain in. Once it waqs running, he HAD to drive it. It didn't matter to him that it had no windshield, bumpers, lights or any interior!

Thanks everyone, took a short cruise to a birthday party today.Found out my tires are a little too big for my ancient suspension.Guess that's moved up to next on list .Loved how they looked but no good for bumps and uneven pavement.Anyone running 275-60/15 and 215/70/15  ?????
