    Thanks Walter. My pops grew up in Wellington(and I was born there) just 30 miles south of Wichita.

    I so much enjoyed this morning seeing pictures of the putting together of this roadster. It is so well thought out. So many nice details! The other thing that I enjoyed is the quality of the photography. The lighting is always good, and the pictures always showed clearly what you were doing. You chose a great spot for the group photos too. Thank you. HFH.
