Got it fired up today & new oil in ****** & differential backed it out of the drive & around the block. Ben D loading & delivering it in Jan 2014.Had to push it up the drive & into the garage, it didn't run. Backing it out ,up the street & around the block then driving it up the drive . No pushing this time. Still have loads of work to do but I know it runs.
The engine & running gear at present is all 34 but the other stuff is waiting in the shop to get er dun if I live long enough. At my age I don't work too fast or too long. Naps are gud.
Coopman what is a lawn mower. Coopman this is my back yard but it is all plastic heh heh he . That is the #3 tee of Desert Lakes golf course just beyond the tree & no I don't play golf but the watching the ladies tee off is nice especially in the summer. The putting green is for my bride, I don't even do that just open a corona & watch her. Mad 0 34 it is a long way from perfect but it's gettin there. Lots to be done still. I just wanted to get it to move on it's own power. I still sourcing parts like a speedometer & glove box. These are the only two gauges that I have so far. I thought about putting a 40 dash in since the steering wheel is a 40.
No big plans right now other than to get it finished,lots to do. I have a couple of V/8s in the shop if the 21 stud gets tired. The one in the car looks like it has been rebuilt lately. The piston top are pretty clean when you shine a light thru a plug hole & the valves look good also.
