Yes Rex I agree with your quote.

I have been 99% done with my 16 month Studebaker Build for 3 weeks now.

Hope to be 100% done for testing in the next few days.

You guys are flying--three years ago, Art Danby told me he was five years into his two year plan. Of course he has shown up with a different car and taken a few records with it.

Ut Oh--- Ya'll know about elecricity, right? Just smoke retained in some wires and battery, right? Pretty much always bad when you let the smoke out right?  Been working on wiring harness 3 days.  Was checking starter motor circuit and some other wire seemed to be grounded.  Udo hasn't moved so fast in weeks fanning the smoke. Fortunately  neither computer was connected to anything.  Minor setback.   :? :roll: :-( 
Not yet sitting on wheels, but hope to try to start it this weekend. The list still not much shorter as Rex suggests.

All of your hard work is about to pay off.  There's nothing better than the first sound of the engine firing up.  Looks great. :-D
