On The Road

The 54 F100 is legally on the road,not as a 54 but a 53 but right now who cares!! Took it for a test ride today and everything seems to work,and NO LEAKS!Tomorrow I will recheck everything if it does not rain. I want to THANK ALL who gave advice and information,or just listened to my ramblings for the last seven months. I am sure I will need more information and I will always hang around FTE, in case anyone else needs any help I could give. Thanks again Jim VA.

How to go, Jim. Fooling around, building, dreaming, rebuilding, research, shopping... all that stuff is fun, but there is nothing quite like getting in it an driving around. Best Himmelberg
