She bucks!

The engine runs! Tried to start it on Monday but it would only crank. Gave it up as I had to go to work. Looked at the wiring on Tuesday and found the problem immediately, a wire disconnected from the coil. Slid it into place, flipped the switches to ON, pushed the starter button (yes, button!) and it fired right off. Let it warm up a bit, but the radiator fans are not yet connected so shut it off when the temp gauge read midpoint.

Still have to install the axles and connect the shifter to the gearbox. There is a bunch of wiring to do including headlights, gauges & idiot lights (because most drivers don't watch the gauges very well, myself included), radiator fans, and a few other items I'm sure. The hood does not want to slide into place, but that's probably because the pivot mechanism is bent.
