Lucky's 33 Hot Rod build #524

[H R Lucky]

After getting the engine to fire, I needed to get the brakes bled and get the clutch working (it is a hydraulic throw out bearing - stock Ford) I had earlier ordered and received a Wilwood master cyl from FFR to install in the clutch position then I needed to get a hydraulic line to connect the master to the TOB. I got a Mcleod flex line with the proper connector for the TOB then I had to get an AN4 to inverted flair adapter to connect the master cyl. Got it all connected, filled the reservoir, then it took me a couple of hours to bleed the clutch but then it wasn't giving me enough travel to allow it to shift into gear with the engine running, eventually I remembered that the master cyl piston rod had about an inch of adjustment so I cranked it back as far as it would go and viola! It went into gear and shifted with the engine running so it was only fitting that I take a go cart ride and that's exactly what I did yesterday, It was a good feeling to get that accomplished!

Here is video, part 1 & part 2 (my daughter took the video with my phone)
You can't see or hear me after I got out of the driveway but believe me it was a blast!
