Here it is first start after full rebuild. Now just need to get it in the truck and then I have to let the truck go to a new home ( if some one will buy it with things like they are these days).



here is a link to the build up if any one missed it

It takes a while for these things to get warm............In the future 1stgen545 will eventually make an attachment for the front of the stand that holds everything needed to do a long test run..........
