    Just fired it up this morning, not long now. This is the most exciting part of these builds for me. Just gotta dial in the timing and make sure everything is attached. We'll see if this video works...

    The smoke is leafs, webs, and twigs burning from the headers. It was sitting in the backyard for a while.

    Yeah...you should come out and let me redeem myself for that old stuff I did on you! Hope all's well out there in Austin...I was very close to moving there a year ago.
