Today we show how to make your own Engine Start Box.  This was fun and easy DIY project and the parts were cheap.  Gather all the parts and tools and make our own start box to test your engine before you install it in your car!  This Start Box was built for an Air-Cooled Volkswagen engine but can be used for just about any engine.
*Note: Fort this VW application,  the bulb for the Alternator/Generator light needs to be an incandescent bulb.
