Sounds like True Love to me!
Next time use some protection and the leaky box won't worry you as much. Put a drip pan under it. ;)
My first time, no front sheet metal or radiator,but I wanted to drive it around the block to see if the driver train was any good. So I filled up the block with water, stuck on radiator hose inside the other, hose clamped them, and away I went. Worked well. Pulled into the drive way and shut it down. Gas fumes curled up out of the carb, and I remembered that one chore of an air cleaner is to act as a flame arrestor, to prevent explosions. Right then the hoses popped. I had an "Elizabeth, I'm coming to join you" moment.
It was more exciting than the first time I had s e x. But now that I think about it, that too was an "Elizabeth, I'm coming to join you" moment. With or without wearing a raincoat in the shower.
