Lmackattack Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Havent had time to work on my B model for almost a year. between driving around in my "new" 65 caddy I bought a few years ago and working on the RS700L I havent had time or money. So today I put in 2 used batterys (Free), jumped in the cab, throttle to the floor, turned the key, fired off on the first crank. gotta love the old dogs for how simple they are. I missed that barkGot the trunk of the caddy loaded with my tools and will be out wrenching on it this weekend.Trent Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/9070-started-after-8-months-of-sitting/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry T Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Glad to hear it fired up for you Trent. Hey Jocko, I notice you have a 1975 A-car, but you use a pic of Dean Ashby's '74 A-car for your avatar. Why not put up a pic of your own A-car?
