It's only taken me 25 years......

After 25 years of off and on tinkering, Lucky is finally running! Efi 400, 200-4R, 4 wheel disc and lots more. Still have bugs to work out but it runs and drives now

1999 and yesterday

Congrats on getting it back on the road. Many of us know that feeling, and your efforts are excellent motivation for those still working towards that goal.

Looks good...
Post a picture from the side, I want to get a good view of the wheels.

I really want to do a 200-4R on my 66 as the 4.33's would be great with overdrive.

Nice! Very well executed tying the old to the new, not an easy task to do so well.
