Videos of my Chevy's 1st start.

Here is some motivation to the guys who are knee deep in bolts, grease and rust. Took us days to get her started.

1st Start since 1987, we were pretty excited :D The squealing you hear is a rusty bearing in the starter.

2nd Start, kinda. It ran out of fuel.

Congratulations Ferrel! It's always great to see and hear an old truck come back to life. Is it not?
