Guess What I did today?
Finally My First Start!


The wiring was a nightmare but I stuck with it and it payed off. Oh, and and I forgot to tighten one fuel line connection so I made myself a little swimming pool.

Congratulations, Doug! It sounds nice and looks real purty too. It's quite a thrill to see life in what used to be a bunch of parts and boxes, eh?

Very nice. I had my first start today, too. Still a lot to do, but a great feeling.
