IT'S ALIVE!!!!

WOOO HOO!


Muuhhaahhaa!

Well after fighting the t-case repair this afternoon, I had decided earlier today that I'd like to get Mater fired up to see what that 6.9 would sound like.



SAWEEEEEET music to my ears.

I got it all rigged up wires strewn all over and a battery on the wheel.

Gave the IP some go juice and a fresh zap on voltage and yeehaw!

Mater roared to life.

Dang did that sound good to hear this afternoon.

I even had to make a few phone calls and cracked open a cold one to celebrate.

Then it was off to get the core support built.

Yup, taking more junk and putting it to good use.

Mater now has a partial Goldie core support.

I even took a short video of the progress report today but won't be able to load it up till tomorrow night.

Guys and gals, I made another oilburner come to life.

I got to hear it first hand! Kinda like when I went to the Styx/Foreigner/Def Leppard concert last weekend. Only not as loud.

Well here's the video upload.

Def Leppard.... Rock of Ages!


Not loud enough? Try just 4' of exhaust.
