Happy Thanksgiving!
After walking the three mile loop around chambers Creek Golf Course this morning in preparation of today's big feast, I stopped in at David's and found him ready to make the first loop in Hulda. This was the much anticipated "driveway" test.
As we were cranking her over, she was sputtering pretty bad, not getting the right amount of fuel and air. I think she was letting us know that her carburetor, that has been sitting for 11 years, was in need of a rebuild. Since David had just rebuilt the one off his dune buggy, he swapped it out in a matter of minutes and had Hulda purring. Here's some video of our first test drive shot by David's son, Alex (thanks for helping us catch the moment!).
As David pulled out I wondered if all the gears would work? ... No pro-blem-o.
I was more tentative in my test drive -- no mirrors, no windshield, no brake lights... but what fun! Without the extra weight of little things like fenders, bumpers, or hoods I was surprised how quick this bug was (notice my hat flying off at the end).
