Default Got 'er running!

Hello all. After, very slowly, doing a bit of work on the '30 Model A i've had handed down to me, I finally got her running today.
I am concerned about the shape of the block/radiator when it comes to rust/scale. I've vinegar soaked both independently and have flushed them out with a hose.
After a 2 minute run down my street (which was scary and exciting) I parked back in my driveway and kept it running for another 7-8 minutes or so. I checked the temp guage I installed from Snyders and it was creeping into the red. I shut the car off and the radiator boiled over a bit.
So, as it stands I am very excited and also realizing all the work I have ahead of me.
Here's pic, hope it works. I know she needs a wash...
