    Motor is in and running! Update
    « on: April 01, 2011 - 01:08:12 PM »
    Got the motor in and hooked up and it is running {finally}. Now it's back to the body shop for the finally assembly. Maybe by May or June I [after 5 years] will get to go for a ride! WHOOHOOO!!!!

     Oh,, the memory's.  :'(

     Nurtured with care, planning, and selfless hours she progresses .

     The rewards are great whence the much anticipated fruition is gazed upon with such metallic glitter, sparkling chrome, and supple vinyl interior.

      A true testament to man's ability to Restore.  :thumbsup:

    Yes EB it is GY8 Gold Metallic. Giving birth is a good way to describe it Brad. An elephant only takes 2 years this has been 5. Soon it will be over. Well at least mostly over. There will still be a few things I will need to get done down the road.

    "usraptr" = United States raptor - bird of prey = United States Bald Eagle.  FYI, somebody else thought of it first so I had to drop the "O" in raptor.
