    Took it for its first ride ever since owning it around the parking lot at my business. Been working on it for weeks after work to get it driveable finally. Gave the engine bay a wash. It was very dusty from sitting around shop. On to getting it painted now.

    Started it up.....just to see if it still runs! Been preoccupied with my elderly Dad, so haven't had a lot of time to get it ready for the spring.

    Better to find it that way before it drops. That retainer was getting pretty beat up.

    Can't do either around here...

    No 76 stations and no 91 octane.. I can go to BP & fill with 93...

    I'm working on tidying up some wiring for electric fan, connecting oil pressure etc...
