No worries Terry
hmmm, let's see, worked on the instrument cluster installation a bit, I need to recheck wiring to the fuel gauge, it's not going up, or it's very very low on fuel. I need to go get some fuel and try again. I'm actually ready for a test run; I get rather nervous for some dumb reason when venturing out for the first time~ I feel I need to have a tow chain ready for Gary to come tow me home! lol

It's ALIVE! For the short test drive, I had Gary follow me over to our nearby baseball park. I just made a loop there, and came back, but pulling out onto the street, kind of got on it in first, barked the tires in second! It's sounding good!! I wish I had a tach
There's still plenty to do, mostly detail, and I hope Gary will buy me some new wheels as he promised
Gary took a short video, but I'll be darned if I can figure out how to download it!

Awesome congrats on the milestone.
Those first hard brakes are also nerve wracking (hoping they work)!

I'd like to share the life of my mom with you guys/gals~ I'm hoping to keep it short otherwise I'll be sobbing again Mom (Sissy to friends) was 93 years young and passed away August 27, 2019 at 9:22pm. I was with her when I saw here brilliant eyes go dim. We had a great evening as I was spending the night. When time for bed, she complained of some chest pain and I responded, "bad as before?" and that was it, she was gone. I'm torn, not only the passing of my best friend, but the quickness of her passing as were having a good time. Just a few weeks or so before, she was mowing on one of her 26hp lawn tractors; I made sure she was armed to mow her 2.5 acres of St. Augustine grass which she planted while I was still in diapers (she says) She loved mowing! I was sure to keep both her tractors in tip top shape, even after one had been submerged by Harvey for two weeks! My goal in life was to keep her happy, her home fun, as there was always something to fix on the old home, built when I was born , almost 65 years ago.
She and I after I had finished putting down flooring for her Coca cola room; one of my favorite pics.
She was tiny, but fierce as Granny off the the Beverly hillbillies~ She knew my love for old cars!
In her young days she was a tap dancer probably better than Shirley Timple and to this day I can still tap what she taught me, a hop shuffle step!
I know she lived a long time, but the hurt is still there of her not here; as I've been so used to calling her 10x a day! She was so awesome, like talking to a 30 y/o when on the phone, you'd never know she was an 93 y/o!
I miss you mom, but I'll see you in a unspecified number of years!! May we meet again!
Your loving daughter, dne'

Gee Paul, I'm so sorry to hear that about your wife! My husbands first wife died abruptly of a rare ovarian cancer; it's crazy all the ways we can go and quite sad. I'm trying to stay busy in the garage, however I'm like a zombie, just trying to get my sense of humor back would be nice.
Thanks everyone!
