No pulse, still a heartbeat. Ugly Betsy revisited
Bought her three years ago. Went ape**** working on her at first. Im more of a dreamer than a doer. I refer to my projects as butt scratchers. I love buying stuff for them. I like going out to the garage and staring at them. Within moments I scratch my butt and go back in the house. This weekend a surge of progress happened. The motor got put together with the help of NONHOG. We were so close to running the engine. We ran out of time and steam. We did crank it a bit. It did not fire although it revealed a mistake I made. It would not be right to attempt to start it without Nonhog there with me. I picture he and I gleefully jumping up and down smiling shaking hands and giving high fives. The spark is there gain. Today I installed the the inner fenders, and the front clip, hood cowl and primed it again for preperation of moisture. I cant wait to hear that beefy cam and headers.

I wish mine had a heart beat. Keep up the good work and quit scratching.

Re: No pulse, still a heartbeat. Ugly Betsy revisited
Yeah. A lost project re-discovered. See my sig for more surprises. I couldnt find the original post of this truck. It dont look like much, but I actually do have some work put into it. I have a couple Tote Gotes too. My intention is to restore them and use at car shows. Both showing and using.

Keep on the attack while you still have steam silly. Hopefully next time it will roar to life.
