Thanks Dirtyrat. Getting close. The grand kids and I are going to drive it in the Bosque Farms parade and throw candy to the other kids and "at" their parents tomorrow. Great fun!

If I knew how to do it I'd post a video of the event.

Nice work on the dehumping... Definitely worth the effort!

Chico and the man.....

Nice ! How'd she drive?? Wish mine was roadworthy !

That's priceless! Very cool.

Congrats Pops! I'll bet you had the time of your life in that parade.

Great pics. Keepers for sure!

Reminds Me

I've got'a Dodge tailgate just like that that needs a home.

Pops that thing is flat cool...

And I'll bet the kids did have a great time......very nice!![cl

How to go, I-R-Pops, a test drive and converted some young-uns to wanna-be hotrodders. Was there a lot of weird questions to answer from the audience or mostly congratulations? Anyhow, congratulations on your successful test-drive.

It drives really well with lots of power. The wheels and tires need a good balance job but all things considered I'm really happy with it.
Stay after your build I love it.

Thanks Sarge.
The kids thought it was great fun. The bucket in the back was full of candy that they threw to the crowd.

Hey MrecuryMac. As you well know, it is great to finally get to drive your ride.
I heard every thing from "What is it?" To "Cute" to "Does this thing run or is it being towed?" Which I thought was hilarious. I'll bet It runs a heck of a lot better than what ever she was driving that day.

By the way I'm liking your ride. It turned out great.
