Home at last- MK4 Complete Kit

Stewart Transport arrived promptly at 11:00 on Sunday -

Had to leave that big beast of a truck out on the road and ferry the boxes and body 150' or so down the drive.

Now time to get going on doing a complete inventory!

Would love to have a get together after the holidays up here in Snohomish!

Thanks Chris for coming up to assist with the delivery!

Couldn't be happier for you, what a great day! Thanks for sharing and recapturing the euphoria of seeing the car off-loading!

Jeff, Congradulations and hope you have a blast with it. My dream gets nearer every day and I can't wait to feel what you are going thru. I live down on the coast in Raymond and I have a son that lives in Snohomish. I'd love to talk to you and maybe take a closer look someday if I'm up that way. If you have time give me a call at 360-942-2583 and we can chat build plans. Thanks, Wayne Downey

Congrats Jeff!

I can't remember if we met at Doug's gathering or not...I was driving the Model T that day. :)

Did you get the inventory done yet? Any other progress?!?

Congrats. Ours was picked up by Stewart today and we're expecting it to show up this Saturday in Atlanta--then I'm moving to Seattle the first week of January. I'm glad to hear there's a good community of builders up there.

Hello Gale, I think we did meet however I don't remember the model T... hmm

Inventory is done, but now I am traveling until Sunday... Will get the body buck built next week, and then get it suspended from the shop ceiling. Then, I need to get a rearend ordered. Because the holidays are so crazy, I don't intend to do any building until early January, but I will be doing some planning and aquiring a few tools and parts :) and continuing to read up on all the various forums/build threads. Oh, and i gave it it's first bath...:)

Hi Jeff,

It's in these pictures...see if you can spot it... :D ♫♫ One of these things is not like the others... ♫♫ Neal and I were the two dissenters. His non-roadster is way more modern than mine.
