Boy, I feel bi-polar following your thread.

Excited in seeing it all come together so nicely

, and depressed that mine is on stand-still

. Never mind that...Keep up the GREAT progress. I can't wait 'till it's finished.

Done ... and THANK YOU EVERYONE !!!!! Jon was pretty toasted yesterday after about 7 hours, but I made him press on so we could get the left suspension blasted. We have some pressure on us to keep pushing the project out the door. We are very lucky to have this shop to work in. We also have to keep up on housekeeping too.
