Default Finally Got My Motor Back!

Yes, it did finally got done and I picked it up yesterday and brought it home @ 10am. By 1:30pm, it was hooked back up to the Turbo400 and was bolted back into the chassis. Still a lot of stuff for me to put back on, but I'm on my way now. Looks lie a Happy New Year is ahead! Glenn

Default Thanks Guys

Maco, I can't wait to see that Maco Shark of yours with a blower on it. Between us well rotate the SE coast!
Yellow72, Have you seen the space shuttle up close? THAT's intensive! but thanks.
Jughead, It DID just come from major surgery, so Yes, I guess it is in intensive care right now, recovering
DrJay, ME TOO!
Ross, my good friend, the mind says yes to 3-4 days, the body says R U KIDDIN'?? It's gonna take me some time to put it all back together. It's the little stuff that takes the time. Today I broke off the tab on the oil press low warn light sender...ordered a new one from Autometer, none local...week with Christmas load.
Hey Durango! You know I'm planning on doing EXACTLY that, and lots of smoke from the tires too! It sounds sooo good with the throttle wide open. Glenn

A blower wagon? That'll be sweet. Make sure you have a progress page with pics and explanations.
