Buffering in HD. I'll let you know what i think in three and a half hours time.

I hope you at least asked the owner of the property if you could paint a few black-ones on the strip! Although this old thing wouldn't be designed for that, hey?
Sounds like a whole lotta power just wanting to be unleashed. Is that effectively moving the thing under it's own power for the first time in a long time?

[Preen59]

For a first crack at video editing i'm pretty happy with it!

The guy that owns the joint has had trouble with people doing silly things out there so we were very tentative. To do a burnout we need a bigger fuel pump and some tyres that aren't worn out and 35 years old..

That's the first time it's moved under it's own power since about 1981 or so.

Wow that's awesome. Is the right tire buckled or is it mechanical but no biggie?
Again, it's bloody amazing to hear that thing.

Fair enough, looking after a guy who's looking after you. Imagine running into one of his cows at 200mph though!

The tyres are pretty old. They've sat around for a long time, so they've got memory. No biggie. We're not going fast on them.

Awesome video dude. Congrats on such an awesome rebuild.

That is awesome! Congrats on the rebuild mate. Looks fresh and good to see it back in it's glory again
