    Today I changed the old coolant and it was easy peezy! I first drained the system and measured the volume to find that 2 gallons would be more than enough. At the Auto Parts Store a gallon of concentrate was $15.99, or a gallon of 50/50 dilluted was $12.99...... So I can buy 2 gallons of 50/50 for $26, or one gallon of concentrate for $15.99 and add my own water to have 2 gallons? Are people really that stupid? Yes, I came home with one jug, and quickly had 2 gallons of 50/50. Since I had drilled a 1/8" hole in the thermostat plate the fill was super easy with the new fill neck!

    Next is replacing the relay based pushbutton start with a traditional keyed ignition switch, another of those things that I've tired of since the initial build...

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
