Talking He STARTS!


We got enough done on Old Horse this afternoon to feel OK with the smoke test. He starts and runs just fine. A little smoke ... but after 25 years in the weeds I ain't complaining.

Got pics on the OldHorse Site below.

Of course he (?) starts, after all it`s a Ford!
Congrats, it must be a great feeling when it fires up after 25 years in the weeds!
