What time?

I will be able to make if I have not been killed or arrested for things that I will never admit to. :whistle:

Thanks to everyone who showed up and helped. It was really nice having some experts: TFPets and Radardog, made everything go a lot smoother....Even though Onk said he didn't do much, I have some pictures that show differently. We got it running yesterday, and it sounded great. I worked some this afternoon to get things back together. It isn't 100% finished, but it is close. I need to get the headlights in (which has to do with me changing bibs). Here are some pics:

It is running pretty well, we made the first trip up to Lassen last week to get a Christmas Tree. I ended up blowing an air line, so I have to fix that, and I learned that I do not have the right dipstick for this engine, so I need to fix that. I think rwilley and I are considering on making a run on 12/18....
