Oh for cryin' out loud.  How DO you do this?  John, you must build 12 (possibly more?) HIGH quality & diverse builds a year and they're each stunning in their imagination and execution.  Nobody could/can or will match you for such productivity.   What a treat man and just want to say that the "bones" on this car are wonderful.   Cheers, tim
