Congrats on the first run.

So whats up with the need for a push down the driveway? Such lack of torque concerns me unless you slipped a rotary in there and forgot to mention it?

The brakes were locking up. I thought I had installed the drums wrong, but yesterday I got to working on it and figured out I had the adjustable arm in the master cylinder wrong. Once I adjusted that right it drove great! I'm working on a short drive video now.

I debated driving it to work this morning, then I realized the owner of the company was coming to my office at 1 and the interior is still gross and moldy...

Made the right choice as in the 2.5 miles to work I passed 4 cops!

I'm thinking Friday maybe (if I have the exhaust on it by then).

Here's all the updates to go along with the videos so you know what it took to get it moving: http://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/the-amc-javelin-build-thread/25555/page1/ Skip ahead to page 11 if you were up-to-date before this thread.

The shop called, they already finished the Javelin! I guess all the guys there decided it was going to be much cooler to work on the Jav than anything else in there today.
