Good. Everythings back in and mostly hooked up. Truthfully I'm paranoid about a million different things when I start this motor up. Ive been researching stuff to do before blast off. I make myself crazy by second guessing myself....I guess Ill find out. I think I'll fire it up Saturday or Sunday and find out then. Whats the worst that could happen? the motor blows up and I have to get myself a bad ass Jake Raby Type 4?

Im finished for the night. got the carbs tuned and synched (sp?) and it idles really nice. I gotta adjust the linkages tomorrow and finish buttoning up some of the homemade tinware seals (pipe insulation) and I may get to take her for a spin around the block. Enough of that...I gotta go get my drink on at a Halloween party!!!
