    no not really its just that she likes me to spend time with her on the weekends. see the cars at my moms which means she would be at our house by herself and the dogs,she supports what i do and loves to go to shows and cruises with me she just dont like watching me build them

    Good for you Glenn. Hopefully I'll be doing the same in 4-6 weeks(if all goes well). Good luck.

    I know EXACTLY what you mean. Worked on getting my frame welded for about 12 hours yesterday with my Kid, and today I feel like a truck ran over me. A VERY BIG TRUCK. This car stuff used to be fun, now it's worse than going to work.

    Maybe I am just out of shape and it will get better as the build progresses.

    That first fire up is always a real trip. Glad to hear it ran good.

    I've actually called people on the phone and put the phone next to the engine so they could hear it run. We car guys are slightly nuts, aren't we?

    Probably no need to inform the neighbor hood, I'm sure it was well announced through the un-capped headers.

    Glad you got it running!
