I know how it happens, these engineering jobs are complex and as result slow!

Wow! I just came upon this thread after searching Rennlist for "Epoxy Garage Floor" which I'm looking at doing for my new Feb '26 delivery 992.2 S, which will be my first Porsche after 50 years of owning BMW cars.

I build Steel String Acoustic Guitars in the style of 1930's Parlor Guitars, and thought THAT was pretty difficult, but you humble me, FLYVMO!

I, as would many, LOVE to see you bring this across the finish line in any flavor of conveyance, be it ICE or Electric, but my wallet-meter believes you could sell this for twice the price with a high-end Porsche 928 engine vs the Vette, or Tesla motor. With your attention to detail, fantastic documentation and a high-end 928 motor, I think this beauty will be a featured car in a Barrett or Sotheby's auction when time comes to sell, vs a very interesting listing in BAT.

Although I just "met" you this evening, I sincerely hope that things are looking up for you - in light of a NUMBER of setbacks, you never complain, and always keep an upbeat "Can-Do" attitude. It's a very rare individual that can do what you do. Think about that for a minute - you give a lot of us here hope.
