First Drive Today!

Unbelievable!!!

We finally took my 65 Impala out with the 409!! Sounds awesome!!! (Only the 2nd one I've ever heard, Rons 64ss409 was the 1st)

I just took it for a short spin as I have a headbolt with a small coolant leak but other than that it looks awesome... I'll snap some pics and post later.

Special thanks to Rock, Dan, and Aubrey for their assistance!!

It looks great! Glad you got it in and running! I know it took a long time, but it's worth it, isn't it! Now I am anxious to see it.

Hey, if you ever get to the Brew Pub, there should be a big 409 mile marker sign hanging somewhere in there signed by Hayden Proffitt. Maybe if we get a nice day, we can meet there.

That IS good news bang bang

Yes, as always, it takes twice as long as we figure it would :?

Good thing we had some decent weather so you could try it out

The Brew Pub is in Belt, about 20 miles east of Great Falls. It is in the old Fender Chevrolet dealership. (Porter Fender was the owner, out of business since the 60's) They kept the automotive theme and have the walls filled with old gas station signs, oil signs, old license plates, hub caps, road signs, 3 gas pumps on the floor, one of which is the old, old style that you pumped the gas up into a glass container, then it was gravity flow to the car. Lots of autique stuff. It takes about 3 or 4 glasses to look it all over.

They have 16 taps and three to seven microbrews, depending on the season, that are brewed in Belt about a block away. The peanut shells go on the floor. Also a deck out back overlooking Belt Creek with tables, (summer use).

I am starting to get thirsty......and the wife isn't home.......hmmmmm Maybe I should go see if they got the mile marker up, and take a picture.
