First powered movement since 1987!!!!!!

Drove my truck out of my garage for the first time under it's own power since 1987. Still got a long way to go, but I think this will help me to get my a$$ in gear and get it streetable this year. Hope this video will play as this is my first attempt at posting a video.

Looks like the brake lights even work, so you should be able to cruise around town! Congrats.

I guess with the big smile you had, you couldn't see, cause, while smiling so much, your cheeks forced your eye's closed. congrats.

Moving under it's own power and a video to boot.. I'd say it has been a good start to July for you Andrew. I have one more week off I might drop by one morning. If you keep the push on you might be able to make RNR in September in Lebanon.
