It was pretty awesome, Fred. Working on it (off and on) for nearly two years....going down the checklist, checking things off as I finished them....adding things too it as I found them...you know the story. Well, I finally got to the point where everything was checked off....and I couldn't really belive it.

It took a day of convincing myself that everything should be OK to take a test drive..."are you sure", I said to myself. So, I took it out (with a fire extinguisher). Couldn't have asked for a better result!

Of course, it will never be "done", but it's nice to drive while working on it.

Great conversion you are doing! I'll put it on my "list"! Good luck!
