It's Alive !

I fired up my engine for a few short seconds this afternoon. It was long enough to hear how the exhaust will sound .....and I liked it. I will get the gas flowing to the carb and fill the radiator, etc. and fire her back up this week for a lonnger run time. This is one of those milestones that are real moviators to "get-r-done"

Re: It's Alive !

Makes for a great day when you hear it run and know that all those hours of work are paying off. Won't be long till you get to go for a ride.

Re: It's Alive !

Thanks guys, I look forward to a drive before too long ! It is a mile-stone and a great motivator to get moving on with the build. Hope to get a little more run time this week and get a good video of it running sound and all!
