Engine startup - moving forward!

Started up the engine for the first time since last July and it sounds great. Almost all the pieces put back together now, wiring done. Looking forward to a road test by mid-month. Exciting times!

And just in time for the summer season, very cool. Its always exciting when you get so close to your first drive that you can taste it. Hang in there you're almost there. Just don't forget the fluids, and to take pictures. Congratulations on your test fire. You have it Rocking, now you just have to get it Rolling.
