Or more actually my engine rebuilder did - great oil pressure, no bad noises, so far so good.

First time since 1985 she's had a working engine in her...

Kind of a nice milestone towards getting her on the road.

Hey Tom,

Thinking about running it soon although the body is still not very close to going out for paint....haven't had any time to work on her lately.

I am actually getting a little concerned as it has been a couple of years now since she has been apart and last turned over. I have some oil in the cylinders etc but I am still thinking that I would like to get her up and running.

It wasn't running when I got her so it would be good to see if I can get her to fire.

Cheers,
Tush
