Thank you all.

I'm really looking forward to showing this car to you especially—folks with front-row knowledge of the whys and what-fors. I'm proud of what I've been able to manage and also extremely chastened, as this journey has taught many lessons about hubris, the folly of my own theories and the beauty of simplicity and doing things the way Chuck Beck intended.

Hey @Alan Merklin I can't convey in words how much your approval of my meager "skills" means to me. Some day, if I keep this up for another 30 years, I might hope to develop car-building abilities to match yours.

I'll be 85 by then though so you can just imagine my pace at that point.

Here's hoping the next few months will bring few irksome gremlins and no catastrophic failures. Obviously I'm nowhere near out of the woods yet.
