    Man, what a day, I took the model A coupe out on the street today, for the "first" time.
    I just did a couple of miles of "mild" driving in Burbank, but non the less it was a thrill.
    After a set back, last saturday (cracked head), I bolted on new rebuilt heads, got the carbs somewhat running.
    Today was do or die, I had to drive it. First a few loops around my shop, next thing you know I ended up at my friend, Sandy's house.
    You just can't explain it, driving a Hot Rod, you put blood, sweat and tears into, and all of a sudden, it's moving under it's own power, is just priceless.
