Hay Joe,

I hope you got a good nights rest and all things are going smooth on the assembly and run in!! I had given thought of coming to town today and checking it out however the weekend didn't pan out that way. Let us know how it's going and with the fact you haven't been on today I would guess you're out plugging away on the XJ!

The way he has been moving on this build I bet he is :happy10:
It was a VERY!!! Hot day here in Arkansas, I stayed in and did nothing 8)

I started back on the Jeep on Saturday but got called to work again. My buddy Shawn dropped by to show off some work he did on his truck and we had a couple drinks and shot the **** for awhile. He split around 9 to meet up with his woman so I figured it was time to get back to work.

I got the exhaust up and on and slid the battery in and the lights started to flash in time with the Nazareth song on the radio "Now your messing' with a son of a *****". I thought it was hilarious so I got a quick movie. :toothy10: It was the the factory alarm flashing the lights BTW.

Little did I know how true this was. About midnight or so I slipped the key in and it sounded like it wanted to start but just couldn't quite get there. I worked on that SOB until 4:30 in the morning, checking and rechecking everything and it was all by the book. I just didn't understand what the freaking problem was. The birds started chirping so I figured I'd sleep on it...:angry7:
