The Man from Tennessee

IT'S ALIVE! I put a new battery in it and some gas and she started right up although it did run like crap. (It had been sitting for over a year.) I let it idle for a few minutes and then took it down the road to see how it drove. Wouldn't you know it, as soon as I got a 1/4 mile from the house I came up on 2 cops sitting on the side of the road. I did a quick u-turn since the tags are expired and I don't have insurance on it yet. Plus, the seat belts are not installed.

It stalled a few times but started running better as I got closer to home. It still needs to be run WFO for a while to clear it out more. I had to replace the rubber lines going to and from the fuel filter as gas was leaking pretty good from the upper hose. I also need to check the cooling system. It seemed to get a little hot. It was blowing a little steam from around the cap. It could be a bad cap or a sign of something more.
