Today was the big day.  We cracked at it for maybe four hours and got the Talon running.  Sorry guys but I didn't get a video of the first start up, however I can tell you that it only took 30 seconds of fuel system priming and four crank attempts to get it started.  I took it out for a drive and it drives beautifully.  It hits fuel cut or misfires or something if you floor it and one of the drive shaft bushings needs replacing, but otherwise this is the best it has ever run.  At the moment it is at Firestone for a full inspection and for that drive shaft bushing, but as for being a project car it has made the grade and graduated on to daily driver. 

Next two project cars:

1986 Pontiac Trans Am Drag Car

198x Porsche 911 Air Cooled Autocross

I'll update you all when I start those projects.
