Main British Car:
First start of my 5.0 Ford Killer B

Well my Ford motor fired right up after only 30 minutes of distributor fiddling. It sounds awesome and was a huge boost to my spirits. I still need to sort out a few things before I can driver my Killer B. Clutch slave needs t be bled and the fencer flares need to be bonded too the car before she can hit the street for a test drive.

Here is a short video of the initial start up, smoke and all, on my blog. The sound does not do the real thing justice.

I'm workin on it! Unfortunately I am a big time hunter and Dove season is only a few weeks away, followed by Bow deer season and then rifle season.

I am hoping to get her driving for the fall and then have her ready for paint in the spring.
