So, last night, I did a thing! The first start was about 2 months ago, but last night, I got my 1951 Hornet's 308 to run!!!
I'll create a couple of posts for the individual systems, but I wanted to brag a little! It feels so good to have it running by itself.
Wiring is a mess, but will be fixed. Right now it just has a starting and charging circuit setup. The rest of the car is disconnected. And the fuel system...well I don't have a tank, so it is running out of a gas can.
First start (April 2019):

And just for good measure, the horns work! LOL
