Too bad there's no way to bottle that feeling.

That is awesome, and I am sure you had a HUGE GRIN on your face, as I know the day my 1930 Starts up and rolls out the garage for a maiden voyage, I may not comeback, and I am sure I will have the biggest Cheshire Grin ever known... as well as doing a few backflips down the street !!

I know that feeling. It makes all the sweat and trouble worth it. Congratulations.

Hoozat, How did that idea you had for the springs work out? Was the ride what you were wanting? I hope so becouse I have mine about half done.
