Re: "Albert" -- 1949 AD, S10 Chassis

Congrats! If that really was the first drive, you were a lot more patient that a lot of us. My first test drive on the road was to a car show a few miles away. No lights, no glass, no seatbelts, no hood, no bumpers, no registration, no insurance, straight pipe, very minimal wiring, and a steel bed just laying in the back. I ran it up to about 70 MHP and accidentally let it drift over onto the rumble strip on the side of the highway and I swear I thougt it was coming apart. Loud as hell with the bed floor loose and no glass, and of course you could feel it in the steering wheel. Scared the hell out of me for a couple of seconds!

Sounds VERY good, looks great as well. Can't wait for my turn to "finish" mine (like they're ever finished!) and hit the road.
