Only thing stopping me from taking it for a spin around the block is waiting for a thermostat gasket because the store had to order one. It will be the first time it has moved under its own power since 1981.

Dude - I'd be cutting up a cereal box to make a gasket! It will be a huge rush to drive it for the first time, have fun!

I have done this... seriously who hasn't???
Put 5 gallons of gas in the tank, fired it up and let it run for a few minutes. first time running it since it came back from the body shop.
Ha, I actually found a parts store who had one and put it in last night at about 8pm. Got the brake lights adjusted and working too. Still having some light issues with the turn signals but that's a winter project now. Was going to take it for a spin BUT didn't want to wake up the whole neighborhood. This week will definitely take it around the block.
