    Very cool Robert. I know the feeling very well ...Mine didnt run or move on its own for eleven years.

    The feeling of twisting that key and the engine roaring to life was un explainable :D .......Then you reach over and pull it into
    gear........:bananaman :bananaman :bananaman

    Congrats ... nothing like the engine cranking up for the first time ... especially when you put it together yourself. Turning the key with crossed fingers works well ...

    Let me know when you plan on the first time at the track. I would like to see it! I hope to have mine running in the next week or so. I am planning a trip down your way for a test drive. :)
