Made several attempts to start yesterday. We had Air, Spark, but no fuel. did not appear that fuel pump was running. Did some research on the Internet last night, search took 1 minute on Google to find a checklist to find the problem. followed the steps provided and found that a wire from the fuel pump relay had apparently been used by a previous owner for a power supply for ssomething. I reestablished the connection and the pump started whirring. Here is the video of the first start.

First attempt to start
We installed the igniytion switch from the donor as we wanted to see if she wouild fire. After several attempts and getting the clutch to the floor we got her to turn over. unfortunately we were not able to get it to fire. We are really close
Wheels and tires go on
The wheels and tires go on in preparation for the first start. The car is resting on its own wheels for the first time.
Wiring harness gets sorted out, installed and hooked up
We re-taped and put new conduit on the donor harness. We layed it out and set it into the car. There are a lot of wires that are not needed anymore like radio, speakers and HVAC controls.
We connected all the wires up in preparation for starting it up.
Radiator and driveshaft get installed
The new radiator and a modified driveshaft get installed. The first radioator was found to be too big. we went back to the stock radiator. The electric fan is munted in the stock fan shroud. We sent the driveshaft from the donor out to a machine shop and they shortened it to 11 inches!.
