 John took the Zwitter out on it's maiden voyage today - two times around the block, one with me as the passenger. This is the first time it's been driven under it's own power in over 40 years! Ran through all the gears just fine. |

I think the windows are almost too small to view all of John's grin! Really great to see the project getting near the enjoyment stage.

Interior dome light, wiring, switches are now all operational. The Zwitter has a three position switch in the dash for the dome light circuit - manual on / all off / operate by door switches. No switch on the dome light itself.
The only electrical items left are the horn and finishing the radio.
