Greetings
fellas. Well, she has arrived, and in excellent shape, so I'm excited
to get cracking on my parts. You all have done an outstanding job to
this point and I'll do my best to keep up to the standards you have
established. As today is my day off, it couldn't have shown up at a
better time.
I'll
have some pics up soon.
Jean
is hanging in there, as am I. She will be starting on a new medication
as of tomorrow, as her current one, while promising, is not performing
quite up to the expectations her doctors had hoped for. Thanks for
keeping us in your thoughts. You fellas really are the best of the best.
Warmest
regards,
Mike

Greetings
fellas. Sorry for the lack of updates, but I'm now happy to say that
real progress has been made
on my part of the build. As I type, I'm getting ready to shoot all the
interior green required in my
section (the assembly part is complete). A weathering session will
follow and I should be getting her
buttoned up tonight and ready to ship out tomorrow. My steps were a
breeze, and not too complicated.
They did call for the masking of the canopy parts, but I have omitted
applying them (figured they're best kept fresh for when needed). I did
trim them all though (the hard part) so their actual application will be a snap. I took
the liberty of assembling the option-C cooler in step 52 so I could do
a dry fit. There's one tiny PE part that I left bagged however, as not
to risk loss during shipping.
Thanks again for letting me be a part of
this. It was awesome, and the fun is really just beginning!
