Your hearts pumping, the blood is running fast, and yor legs are shaking like a little kid at Christmas.  The anticipation of completion is off the chart.
 
I'm glad to see it coming together for you. Keep taking pics.




Corvettes and women are the same...You want to make love to them but they keep breaking down.
