I have watched your vids for a couple of years now, i dont remember commenting before although i always leave a like. However, i am compelled to write. You are a very VERY remarkable lady i cant tell you how impressed i am having done the exact same job myself last year. Absolutely the purest example of determination and never giving in. 😊

That dirty, oily, not so rusty, shaking, awkward, knuckle busting, greasey Red Bastard better keep performing after all that effort and fortitude!!!

@@WindHippieSailing I didnt want to post this for everyone to see but if you have left wires flopping around eventually they will break wherever they are fastened to something. Same with fuel lines. There are best practices that should be followed to prevent dangerous failures and sometimes amatures doing their own work may not see a potential problem. Sometimes its good to have a REAL mechanic take a look at your work and make sure its safe. Or maybe face time your father and let him look things over. I think you are awesome but im a dad too and wouldnt want you to have a dangerous situation develope..:)
