Default Ol' Red Beater lives

While I still have a way to go before completion, I finally got to take it for a drive up and down my buddy's driveway a couple of times and probably racked up a half mile. Runs great. Still need to bleed the brakes more as they go to the floor, but it stops fine at driveway speed. A good feeling to know it's no longer a static display.
