Well, the unveiling got foiled by a junk starter, we think we left the starter sitting out in the rain the other night and it got filled full of water and in our haste, we never noticed. Soon as it cranked over, it broke the brushes off inside the housing. So we couldn’t drive it over to unveil, which would have been in 11 degree weather. But we unveiled it, he choked back tears and didnt quite no what to say.
