EX5023 LT5 Start-up
Well, Tyler is coming next week so we can try to get this thing alive again. It'll be nice to hear LT5 #043 fired up and running.
Tomorrow, installing fuel lines, brake lines, calipers, fuel tank/sender, battery, hoses and fluids. Then, dash harness and forward lamp harness. Busy week. Wish me luck......................LOL
