Thanks a bunch folks. Sorry for all the long posts, but it was a long story. It was also very humbling to fail so many times.

It means a lot when seasoned veterans of car building say your work is beautiful. I hope that the rest of the car turns out as well.

I hate to say too much, but I feel like I'm kind of on a roll with this project. Many pieces seem to be falling into place. I've felt this way before and have had "life" setbacks beyond my control derail my progress. Keep your fingers crossed that it doesn't happen again. I'm ready to drive this thing!
