    Part 22 – Start Your Engine Day

    With the car almost done my wife had the great idea to have a “Start your Engine Party”. If you have followed along from the beginning you know that the engine in this car came from a 65 Mustang that I had when I first started dating my wife some 35 years ago. The engine was pulled from that car and put in storage about 29 years ago, so the restart had a special meaning to us and the party made it fun for everyone. We invited a bunch of close friends and family and about 30 people showed up for the event. Here are a few photos from the day and a link to a You Tube video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fd_XLJn4McU

    Rod - What an excellent idea. The party was a brilliant stroke.
    Good party, friends, a proper blessing and a dance to boot.
    Then add it all with an engine having deep family history.
    Very cool.

    Congratulations Rod! After what can only be considered the 'Mother' of all rebuilds, that car is certainly worthy of that special engine. It has been a long road, with very good and educational reading during the process. I think many of us enjoyed the build a much as you. Drive the heck out of it an enjoy. Again, congratulations on a great job!
