I had the same feeling with my 65 C 50 wrecker. It sat for fifteen yrs. I worked on it where it sat in the next town over from mine. It took five months to get it running -new brakes- tune up-battery-new radiator-new hydro vac-gas tank. But when it moved under its own power and stopped it felt almost as good as the three letter word. (almost)then when i got the boom and wrecker to work and grabbed onto an old f$%d two ton and hauled it around the yard there that was real satisfaction. All the money and hard work was worth it. keep up the good work.
