Bringing the 66 back to life

Another nice day here in Michigan and this day belongs to me, I have no where to go or nothing to do so it's time to play with the Barracuda (rare day). Exhaust manifolds are on and I hooked up the Y pipe, finished up all the small things to do. Put the new aluminum radiator in along with my fan shroud and hooked up all the hoses, filled it up with antifreeze. The accelerator linkage along with the kick down linkage is done, put in the battery, hooked up the cables and just went over all my steps to make sure everything was tight and properly installed. Dam I think I am ready to start it up, cranked it over and it started right up. Let it run until it got hot so the Eastwood paint on the exhaust manifolds could cure a little, hit forward and reverse a few times and topped off the trans fluid. I will make a few more final adjustments over the next few day's and cruising time is here again. OH YEA!!!
