Well I think there are at least three of us that can't wait for that to happen. You, the missus, and the rest of us!

Got the wiring bugs out, tightened all the fuel line connections and bam she started right up.

[casper50]

Thank you.

 

[Wrongway]

Yes sir

[Frosty]

Casper50 - way to go man! I'll bet with it running, you have a serious itch to get behind the wheel for a test drive, don't you? Congrats on this major leap forward!

[casper50]

I put it in the gears last night.  Moved in all.  The new master cylinder is leaking out the brake rod end.  Might have to send it back for another one.

Dang it. The suicide ride will have to wait a little longer.

Great accomplishment Mike! Nothing better than seeing it all come together!

[casper50]

Thanks everyone.

quick update.  Took some photos sitting in the carport waiting for the snow to thaw for first test drive.

[64 kiwi boni]

Oh, just love it Mike !!!!

[casper50]

Only a few minor things left to do.  Not charging enough so need to check the regulator as I have already checked the generator, have a new radio to install and that's it.  It's insured and tagged.

I'll be wishing for your temps here in a few weeks when that's the average temp and it only gets down to 79* at night.
