Well okay then!
I see we have a lot of readers -- and just not posters. I was really starting to think that it was a private conversation between about 5 people. So thanks for the feedback. There's no way to tell if it's of any interest to a broad swath of folks - particularly when everyone is so "quiet".
I'm on a flight to Ontario, CA to meet up with "the boys" for Grand National Roadster Show this weekend so will try to give some thoughts to a "recap" post as requested when I have a quiet moment to gather my thoughts.
It'll be hard to switch off the background NOISE I'll no doubt get down here... I'll have about 5 or 6 tall guys trying to beat me down 24/7!!

Rodger and I have build stuff to go over etc...
