ok another quick update.

I broke down and got the full rotostart from ebay, along with a 6 pac of glow plugs.
The installation was a snap and I tried using my Miller 18v electric cordless drill. it started a few times but mostly just acted like it was trying to start, but never really would fire. The drill seems a bit slow. SOooo, the wife is runing by the LHS to pick up a stick battery and charger for me today on her way to work. I'll get it charged up and ready for a test tomorrow.

I have my shock socks (american flag) and the chrome roll cage installed as well. The rollcage has already done well and protected it in a roll-over on pavement. it was my fault trying to turn at to high a speed, it rolled like 5 times before stopping on it's roof. barly a scratch.
