got my car running! pics and vid. 56k warning

[cenok is family]

well i finally fired my car up last night...everything seems ok so far but i can't really tell if there are any odd sounds coming from the motor since i don't have my exhaust hooked up and it's just running un capped. also i don't know what my oil pressure is because i can't tell if my oil pressure gauge is working properly since it's not moving when the car's off, when i start it or when it's idling. it just sits at about the "m" in "normal" the whole time. what do you guys think could cause this? anyways, here are some pics from start to finish.

oh yeah, my baby's not as pretty as some of you other guys' cars on here so be nice.

here are some of the new parts i put on:

thanks a lot guys! yeah i'm really stoked about it running again.

where did you get the headlights?

my brother got them for me off ebay for $100. i didn't like them at first but now that i actually have them on the car, i think they look really clean. definitely cleaner than my old headlights!

So if everyone in your family has Camaro's except for you have you ever wondered if you were really adopted? The Mustang gene is often passed through family lines you know.

haha they're "extended" family! the daughter of their family has a 66 stang. my older brother had a mustang too. he's the one who got me into them actually. but now that you mentioned it, i do look a lot like the mailman...
