    OM, the 17A is already in Santa Margarita. In the picture I wired the solenoid up to 12 volts. The starter chattered and rattled like crazy. After moving the 10 ga. wire to 24 volts at the starter it worked perfect.

    Got the power wagon painted, hoping to take it to the Tulare antique show the last week of April. Amazing how dead lines get things done. Got the glass put in. All LED lights including the 7" round head lamps. Should have around 40 lights total when finished.

    She's getting close boys!!! Should pick it up next week and start putting it together. Since there's a bed mounted winch Im going to try and make the bed rails fold up to make gin poles.
