After bending fuel lines and installing them and such, I figured well this is it, time to dump some fuel in!. It didn't want to start! After much looking at this and that and that and this again, getting zapped by the coil, I found that I had all 4 sparky wires clocked wrong. I had to rotate all 4 clockwise. Tried it again and smoke filled the garage (from the engine being flooded from previous attempts).
Let it warm up to temp, dropped it into 1st dumped the clutch and off I went. Good oil. temp and such. Of course the kids had to join in.

Still lots to do but big day non the less.
YEAH!

An uneventful first drive is always good!

Judging from the big smile on your face, I guess it was all worth it! Congratulations, and hope I can smile like that someday as well !!!

Good job Brett! I know you're enjoying it as much as your kids are. I finally sent mine off to my brothers body shop to get the body and frame lined up before final paint next week. I can't believe shes almost done - seems like yesterday when I finally got her running the first time!

Congrats Brett! That's one fine looking M38... and a great "platoon" of helpers as well.
