After a few minor adjustments on the shifter it's running and I drove it around in the yard. I had to drop from a 14 tooth drive gear to a 10 tooth drive gear which is the smallest that I could find. Seems to be perfect for the 1st gear to be more like a creeper gear. Still need to do a few small things but needed to take a break from it for a while, pretty happy with how it turned out.
