Thanks everyone for the well wishes! It has been a long road.
I took a 50 mile cruise today after I finished detailing the car (you know, the unseen stuff, frame, engine bay, trunk, etc. . .) It was so satisfying, just like a dream come true. To me, this is what it is all about.
When I was getting gas, a guy walked up and said, "wow, it's nice to see the real thing rather than another kit" To which I replied, "what makes you think this is not a kit?" Then I explained to him what it was. . .
It was a great ride! My son loved it! (and believe it or not, fell asleep)
