    31 Coupe, w/ flathead

    Did a complete re-wire, tore the old wiring out (all green wire, connected to a piece of masonite with a dozen fuses onnit, and put in a new rebel-wire harness.

    Still have a few things to*****on-up, gotta try to see if a better ground might brighten-up the headlights, and make sure there are no loose bundles flopping around.

    But I fired it up today, and it roared right to life and then sat and purred... a happy day.

    It's been on the road VERY intermittently, as I discover new things that must be done... hopefully I'll be able to drive it for a while now.

    Congrats! Probably one of the greatest feelings in the world to fire up a freshly built motor or one that's been sitting idle for a while.
