Well today was suppose to be the day. The day I pulled the '58 out of the garage and took it down to the shop for the safety. I have done quite a bit of work to it over the winter and when we went to start it today, nothing. So i charged the battery, nothing. Swapped the battery and boosted it off of my truck and it was purring like a kitten. The second we disconnected the cables, it quit. Looks like i need to have the generator rebuilt.

SO CLOSE.

Disappointed, Yes.
Enjoy turning the wrenches on it, Absolutely.
