I'm one of the slow ones, catching an hour here and there when I can, logging them all in the build book. Finally got this far and, yup, sure feels like a big deal. Thanks for all the help here on the forums, questions asked and answered, encouragement always there.

Great video, congrats!
I'm envious of those lifts in your garage......

Thanks. 2 iPads, 2 iPhones and a wide angle lens, iMovie for editing.
The Max Jax lift has worked out well. I don't stand up under it, i sit on my roller seat. And its having everything at the right height for the job that helps the most. Plus I can unbolt it and roll it over to the wall when I need the whole shop.
I look back at my log and see I spent a month with QuikTrick just getting ride height and all the suspension set up. Who knows how long the rest will take. I have the Coupe conversion and the new nose, so we'll see.
Hey, its the journey, right?

Congrats on the car, and a great video too
I too am one of the slow ones, with a SN in the early 100's and go karting in January (hopefully)
Congrats on the first drive! Great video! Your build looks awesome, keep it up. I cannot wait for that first drive.

It goes. And it comes back home. No smoke, no leaks, no parts on the road. And, you're having fun. Congrats!

AZPete says it all. Your video look downright pro. So does your build work. Like to see more pix.My S project is moving but slow as a turtle. Fun as a rabbit.

Thanks for all the nice comments, guys. Asked a buddy who's building an airplane what he says when asked when he's going to finish.
"Last Spring", he says.
Mine is "Open House"......
