Hi Chuck,
great .. but does it fit under the Christmas tree?
Or are you planning to use it as the tree stand?? ;D
Have fun with it!

I may have to sleep in it - this was not popular with Senior Management.

Just curious, how much? Just like to know the current values, unless you want to keep it under wraps.

Well, it arrived this morning in a box truck driven by the seller's nephew. We unloaded the parts containers and summoned a flat bed. Rolled the car onto the flatbed, moved the box truck, and rolled the car into the garage. First impression is that it is, as represented, a very solid car.
So now to find a painter and figure out how to store this enormous pile of parts.

Good luck with your new project . It look's like a good winter project......

With all those boxes, it could be a winter, spring, summer, fall and winter again project!
