This is some fine work, my friend. I know you sweated over this thing, and were dealt more than one setback. It's a beauty, Ian! You can be proud of it, sir!

Thank you very much Daniel, yes there were some interesting moments, but as you know they are part of the landscape when you model off the beatin path and scratch build.  However at the end of the process there is a certain sense of accomplishment when combined with comments like yours tends to make the journey worthwhile.

What a great build Ian, every photo shows superbly crafted and professionally assembled parts, this group effort (with the help of passionate and skilled people) has created another superb build.  Backed by a story, a story of recognition of those who have made their mark on motorsport in this beautiful corner of Canada.

Thank you for sharing your passion with us my friend, this simple hobby proves once again that it can produce much more than just a toy to display on a shelf! 👌

So, maybe this will give you an extra reason to keep going and push yourself like you do every time.  I really enjoy this hobby, but the connections we create and the values we can decipher from our peers without knowing each other or having met in person (distance obliges) give this forum its full meaning.
