1. Fuel line connections & float levels to avoid leaking fuel.
2. Oil full & at correct level, Coolant full and ALL connections checked.
3. Brake line connections (you want to be able to stop!)
4. Electrical connections (you don't want to be stopped at the shoulder of the road).
5. Wheel alignment.
6. Headlights AND most importantly Brakelights & Turn Signals.

Run engine in driveway or garage for about 1/2 hour before going out on the road. Check for leaks both fuel & oil before leaving. Take cell phone and have tow truck phone number.

7. Most importantly, smile and bask in the fact that you created it yourself, that is overwhelmingly satisfying.
