Complete wiring and some other little things then it will be time to start it up! Our plan is to get it running, touch up anything, etc etc after that is good we'll put on the hoods & fenders and we'll be done!! Having a couples baby shower on Aug 17th, plan will be have it done for that as our baby is due around Sept 1st. missing anything?? [Reply]   [No Email]

Considering adding a good battery tender, what do you guys think? Dr says week early? :)   [Reply]  [No Email]
