Made some noise today!
What a sweet sound . . . a scratch-built engine comes to life



Like most guys have, there were a few problems: minor water leak from lower radiator hose; air cleaner element burned after a backfire ; oil leak from my one-piece rear main seal ; ran hot due to stretched belt that slipped and didn't turn the water pump at proper speed . Otherwise, a great day in the garage!

Drove around the block today . . . Woooo-hoo! Still some tuning/wiring issues, but it moves under its own power (and . . . sounds like a hotrod! )
