    Yes….to the black wires (Not that the greens weren't funkadelic but the black make it)…...and you know it's gonna be good when you have to rebuild a "few" 97's to fire it off….Keep pushing man…you are almost there.

    I see you brought tabouli and pita chips to the garage to keep up your strength ( on the cowl in post 181 ). It is looking good in the neighborhood, my Brother!

    As far as I'm concerned it's the weekend. Is it running or what?

    I have my friend "Snooky" looking for virgins as we speak; however we may have to import some "ringers" . Perhaps some Pennsylvania Dutch girls that want to " break out" as they say. We can relax under the palms on my magic carpet, and eat our dates ( very good for you, Praise Be!)

    I'll have some pics very soon, getting ready to roll it outside and take her for a rip.

    I made a special 600w oil tool thingie which speeds up the process of filling rear ends.... Couldn't find it so it took me like 40 minutes to fill the rear end.... The entire left side of my body fell asleep from lying on the creeper in one position.....
