Well yesterday I did something I have never done before!

I drove my 39 Deluxe!!!

Although it was only around the property, I still drove it. Next up is a visit to the painter.....
I can't wait...

Thanks to all you guys here as you have helped me from the start. I really appreciate it.

A joyful event. Along with starting your engine for the first time, it's like having your first child. Did you hand out cigars?
Congrats Wick man.

47topless, I had that exact thought. Females do look at you a little strange if you mention that in mixed company.

It’s a good feeling! I’ll never forget driving my 40 around the block for the first time about a year ago. Barely limped home. Forgot to tighten the lug nuts. Haha. But I did make it! It was about a half mile drive around my block.

Topless,
I did not hand out cigars yet. But I did take her back to the garage Then I enjoyed some fine bourbon and a nice cigar.
Then I had to tighten a loose clamp to stop the coolant leak so it is back to work.
