Sorry Jeff, can't let you drive....

I'm crushed.  (just kidding!)  No problem, I know where there's a nice Pomona Gray 3A I can drive.  That video is great, and you're doing a very meticulous job with the rebuild.  Can't wait to see the finished project.

Sorry for the background but after two years of Saturdays in the garage my chassis build was ready at 6 am on a cold windy day. All that was left was to haul my sick neighbor out of bed to record it on my cell phone. I am thrilled with the build thus far and although the initial street run is still months away, my two closest flat fender head buddies Jeff and Ryan M will get the first ride. Sorry Jeff, can't let you drive.... Next big question, Repli-tub or rebuild the old tub?

I can attest to the fact that it runs perfectly. I was given a full demonstration and it did not disappoint. He's done a beautiful job with it.

Engine sounds good! But someone in the video doesn't. Little backfiring?� ;D
Between the coughing and the wind noise, the engine is having a hard time competing. :)

Why don't the camcorder makers supply wind screens for outdoor use? Huh?

I should have specified - I did not take the video, I just posted it. Not sure who the cameraman was.

As acting technical assistant for BMIC, I humbly present the following video of his first - and very successful - test run of his freshly rebuilt 3A motor.

I was fortunate enough to see this project in person this past weekend. It is superb and will no doubt be a masterpiece once it is completed. Should be ready for the Memorial Day parade, right Bruce?
