Aside from that though, I made no mistakes!

Had a few problems getting the neutral safety switch to work. We just hit the starter enough to see if it would turn. Engine is a zz4 350 crate motor. It still needs to be broken in. My son and I cruised in the garage today. We put the bench seat in, connected the throttle cable, and tried out all the hookups that we could. Got about 4 inches of snow today, so we didn't attempt to start her up in our enclosed garage. Still have to put the hood on, but waiting to fire the 350 up first. I guess it was only a dream cruise today, but it won't be long now... | | |
