    Sure will! Progress will be slow, as my personal time and budget allow, but I expect to get finished within a six month time frame or so. Winter will make it far too cold to work in my garage

    Hopefully I have it finished by late spring or early summer. What you see in the picture is just a test fit of the motor by itself.
