Blown Gasket, I am the opposite (though a mere youngster at 57). I try not to let stuff bother me like it used to. Not saying Im stress free but I try my hardest to be. As far as car breakdowns, I second and third those with AAA, although the one time I really needed it I didnt use it!!!!!!
Seems like there would be easier ways to achieve what you want but what the hey, if tinkering keeps you busy and happy why not, I say move ahead full steam forward!

I know you said you had all of the parts, but would a 12v tool battery work? I saw a guy that had a racing motorcycle and he used one to start his bike. It clicked in like it would a drill/whatever, once the bike was started he pulled it out. It was easy to keep charged as well. I wouldnt think this would work but it did.
