OK, I just had to put this on the barn right now while I'm still giddy as a schoolgirl !

IT LIVES !!! I took Purdy's advice from earlier today, pulled the plugs and shot in fresh ether, fliped the switch and Voila...the sweet smell of success...and exhaust fumes ! Quickly I dumped the contents of a wooden box right on the floor, C-Clamped a board accross the frame, tossed on the wooden crate and away I went ! Checked that I had brakes ( it'll skid ) and emergency too ! Then I went zippin around my lot.

I had to go home, get my teenage daughter ( in her pajamas) and raced back ( in my modern car) and had her document me on my new toy. Just look at the grin on that geezer's face ! Yeah, those are stop action moving shots ! So, while i am still shakin with joy...( you all know the feeling) I had to post these and share. This is the chassis I bought off of Fleabay a few weeks back and the guy thought I should pay his paypal fees. ( I didn't) but that's another tale. So now it's on to gettin a cowl and building a new body for Henry's Orphan. Or as the Stooges once said...Oil's well that ends well ! ( told you I was giddy !)
