Mike -
Thank you so much for doing this kit as well as for your labor of love
restoring the real thing. I just reviewed all the photos at your Web site and
am deeply impressed with what you've accomplished in 2 years. I wrote you
off-list yesterday requesting one of the new kits and am just confirming that
here, as my email (incoming messages at least) has been acting weird for a day
or two. With a run of 50 units, I'd expect it to sell out in about 14 seconds.
Best regards,
Jonathan Harris
