It's Alive! (Just in time for V@V)

[ClayW]

We finally got the 1600 to start last night. Tears were shed, Angels sang and beers were enjoyed.

Oddly enough, this image properly depicts Jay's demeanor.

Still left to do: Bleed the brakes and clutch, install the carpet, wrap up the wiring, finish tinkering with the door and install a bunch of tiny detail parts.

Awesome, you guys are hardcore on this one.

[ClayW]

Thanks, Bill. You missed a big group hug.

[Clownman]

That is damn impressive guys!!! Sorry that we were not able to make it back out to lend a hand, wish I could have helped more. I hope that the drive to NC is trouble free, good luck and have fun.

Clay,

Your car has come so far, so fast. Glad I was there to witness at least one day of the madness. I gotta say it again -- your wheels look awesome, just right for your car. See you at V&V.

All righty! Have a safe trip down, and I have to agree that those wheels have just the right subtle attitude for your car.

I thought that you had sold the hood to Fjord car...Marc, Jim, and esp Bill Williams are very kind to haul the rear lid down for me. If you have any trouble finding me (doubt it..), I will also spend some time at the e9 tent..Look forward to seeing your new ride in person.

If you don't mind me asking, what kind of brackets did you use on the front fog/driving lights? Beautiful car by the way.

Clay,

It has been a true pleasure working with you and the rest if the local (and not-so-local) 02 gang. That your 1600 is ready for action after just 6 weeks, including a motor swap, harassment by my neighbors, weather interruptions, and the inconveniences imposed by having to earn a living with a full time job, is a testimony to your strong work ethic, good humor, and friendly nature. As Dudley has often said, we could have been doing many other things during our evenings and weekends, but we indicated our preference to work with you on your car. It has been inspiring to witness the rapid and steady progress on the car, and the growing cameraderie of the Ivy Street Motor Works crew. I look forward to many more evenings and weekends working on cars in my driveway and garage.

I wish you and Dana a safe, speedy and enjoyable journey to and from V@V!
