Well, the completion date for my MK4 is rapidly approaching so I thought it about time to move out of the shadows! Assuming no big delays with Stewart, I should get my kit by the end of Feb. I'm retiring on 28 Feb and this will be my project for the foreseeable future.

I've been reading as much info on the forum as possible for the past 2-3 months trying to nail down kit options, decide on panel finishing, extra goodies, etc. What a great source of info it has been! I plan to do a build thread and look forward to exchanging ideas, experiences, and lessons learned.

I would love to connect with other builders in Alabama...particularly north of Birmingham. I'm in Hartselle, a small town south of the Tennessee river a few miles.

Thanks in advance to all the members who will lend their experience to my build. I won't be shy about asking. Thanks to Erik Treves who has been a big help already.

So...let the journey begin.

Jeff
