Thank you all so much for you warm encouragement, but this one has been loaded behind the backseat, in the cargo section of the old family station wagon. I ran into some minor problems trying to paint the assembled cockpit tub. Couldn't get it to look at all like wood, so I'm going to rethink the entire assembly process. The project's not dead, just on hold while I work out some stuff and finish other builds.
Cheers,
Bud
