Sweet! Not fair took me forever to get there. Looks clean. At least my honda ran before yours. Probably won't drive before you but..

Re: Motorbreath's Chenowth 2 Seat Play Car
We're on schedule... mostly...
It ran yesterday afternoon... Cranked a bit without ign or fuel to build some oil pressure. Primed the fuel. First turn of the key, I was rewarded with an open header BAAARAAAAWWWWUUUUUM! SUCCESS! Straight to clean idle. Snappy throttle. SuperBitchin.
The wife immediately was in the garage with a "...its not staying THAT loud is it?"
I'm still buttoning up some wiring, making some exhaust supports and servicing some CV's..
If I actually get to leave work on time, it will be in the sand on the 1st of the year... but rumor has it around here that i'm going nowhere until the morning of the 2nd...
