(04-04-2009) The 1930 Chevy LIVES!!


Flash and I worked for on the 1930 Chevy truck today, and it now will start and run. We slowly went through everything: freeing the motor, checking the starter, checking the valves, checking the coil/plugs/wires/points and finally by pouring gas directly into the carb and firing the engine. But, all of the original equipment was used (coil, points, spark plugs, plug wires, etc.) and it runs! The starter works great! The engine runs great! This video is of the very first firing of the engine.

it's a great feeling when you get an old crate like that to fire! It's like new baby pictures you have to share with the rest of the world! Congrats, fellas!
