We got Gramps(`56 3200) to start this afternoon:). He actually sounds pretty good for a shade tree rebuild. First fire he tore thru the radiator so that needs to be replaced(it wasn't the corect one anyway). We may still have to do some fine tuning on the carb. It isn't the correct one either so I will eventually try to find the right one for him. It feels pretty darn good to hear him roar! I still have a very long way to go but it's headway.

I'm trying to post a video of him starting the first time but get a missing security token notice. I guess I'll have to wait until the kids get up and fix it for me.
