"It's alive" love it!
Proud to be one of those 1 million from years ago.
Don't let them give you heck! I drove around for a while in my
Neighborhood with a plastic 1 gal gas jug strapped to the fire wall while I was installing a new gas line and 6v gas pump. My neighbor would say...you really shouldn't do that! Probably shouldn't have with the hot exhaust manifold right under it =(

It's good no one else has ever done as dumb of things as I've done.

Glad I've done them though. Many of them were just plain fun and no harm came of them.

I don't believe anyone is upset. Quite the contrary, it's great when those who are aware and open-minded can benefit and gain a little wisdom from others' ill-advised past experiences. DD

Never start an old engine ,it could blow up and you could get hurt. Never drive an old car, you could have a wreck and get hurt. Never walk out your door ,you could have a tree fall on you and you'd get hurt. Never get out of bed , you might fall and get hurt. Now that that's over with ,Great video, I love seeing a Flathead coming back to life. Sometimes you have to do what you have to do. Your alive and Old Henry is running.

Thanks, Fibber, for putting all of the paranoia in perspective.

Please don't take my comment as criticism. I have had the "safety police" after me for a few things I've done in my videos so I know what it is like. And my 39 Deluxe still runs on a 1 gallon plastic jug sitting in the engine compartment until I get the fuel tank and lines sorted out. I know there is an element of risk but I'm ok with it and not hurting anyone else. And congratulations on hitting the million views.
