46ford Senior Member Feb 26, 2012 #1 Took it out for a ride today, about 10 miles. Got it up to 50, I'm sure it will do more than that. Got a few interesting looks from folks in town, especially the older folks. Attachments merc winter drive.jpg 106.6 KB · Views: 75 merc 50 mph.jpg 25.7 KB · Views: 72

Old Henry Well-known member Feb 26, 2012 #2 Brings back fond memories of my first ride in "Old Henry" after it sat for 31 years. Here's starting the engine for the first time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wY389S_KUjs&feature=email&email=comment_received Here's the first movement on it's own: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBe8KWTM3qQ&feature=related Congratulations on getting yours going down the road. Not much more exciting than that!
