      My first drive!!!...car is DONE

      I posted this in a progress thread too, but not everyone goes in there. The car hasn't been tuned yet, and is spitting out black smoke as a result of an over RICH condition.......but I am proud as hell after a 2 year dream build...and I finally made past the damn sidewalk!!!

      Your car looks and sounds awesome. Is that a supercharger I hear?

      What was the cruiser (cop car) doing by the stop sign?

      Was just going to ask if that was a blower, or gear drive I'm hearing?

      I am getting that question alot since posting the video.....and I love that it keeps people guessing, but no... it's not a supercharger, or a gear drive. It is a toothed belt and pulley system, as is used on a supercharger or blower...from this guy http://www.blackmountainprecision.com/sb1.htm

      I LOVE the sound it makes!!

      looks and sounds great, I know the feeling I just finished mine late this summer and the first drive was so much fun. My chest was pounding and grin was a mile wide. I see the local law enforcement was there to witness your first ride. So much for doing that first burnout.

      Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
      Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?
