its always a good feeling to drive something that was a project for so long.

Nice, I haven't driven mine yet. It had been sitting when I bought it and had no interior in it. I haven't even bothered trying to fire it up as I don't have any seats in it yet. Can't wait though.

Good to hear, I have'nt driven my 68 Firebird ever and ive owened it 3yrs, and its going to be at least another 3yrs before its close to complete. Who else here has not driven there car or has not driven it in years?

That first ride, after a longtime off the road, makes it all worth it. It really adds new energy back into your build. It also helps you forget all the bad times that made you think you would never get there

I think it took me 4 or 5 years to get my Camaro back on the road, and I can't even count how many times I was ready to give up. I actually even went as far as making a "for sale" flyer for it, when I was about 3/4 of the way to getting it back on the road

What a mistake that would have been..... although I would have a lot more money now

Owned my chevelle for 5 years now. Haven't driven it, and it's still several years out from being able to.
