Finally, I had the chassis ready for the engine to be reinstalled and in March 2015, with the help of my brother I installed the engine and drove my Sexton for the first time. I was also able to park it in my shop which makes restoration on the rest of the vehicle much easier. I have posted videos of the startup and first drive on YouTube at the links below.
