Big thanks to the "seasoned owners"

[Bill Elliott]

I thought now is an appropriate time to thank some of those that helped me get to this point , which I think is a major stage of the whole build. All of these people have been a great help. So many people would probably never attempt to build one if it weren't for there endless supply of knowledge.

Paul ( EdwardB): His meticulous build threads were a huge help, they were like his own version of a build manual. Many of his methods were incorporated into my build and he gave me plenty of advice.
Jeff Kleiner: Well what can I say, he has methods named after him. His knowledge of the entire car , mechanically and body and paint is unbelievable. Lots of advice also.
Dave (Papa) : Also a great build thread . Really good on the electronics side. He was able to give me advice on the Holley Sniper, made it really simple to understand. I was really happy that I was able to start mine first time with no issues from the Sniper.
Travis(Fman) : what a beautiful car he built. I took some ideas from his build, also we both have 427's so that was also a big help having someone to bounce ideas off.
Mike Bray : Another build with some really awesome customizations. He helped me with some engine issues also.
Rich : thanks for all your help also. I like his direct approach to things. Lots of knowledge on these cars.

Still have lots to do but I feel some of the most challenging things are done , I am really enjoying the whole process. I have been on a certain thought process of getting the car ready for first start. Now that I have done that I kinda have to go back to square one and finish more sheet metal (as I didn't want to cover too much up like the trunk area, until I knew things were ok). Still very focused on completing this just need to regather my thoughts on WHAT NOW.

Bill, glad to see you are successful with your build. There are a lot of good people on these forums who offer an amazing depth of knowledge.
Thanks for acknowledging a few of us. Jeff I know, he did my paint and I spent some time with him. I hope I have the pleasure of meeting the rest on your list.

No matter what I'm building, if there is a forum, I join. There's so much knowledge out there and lots of great people willing to share. Can't even count how many times that the forums have saved me a lot of pain.

When you mentioned "seasoned owners," I thought you were referring to me, approaching my 82nd birthday. These guys are great, but just whippersnappers.

Didn't mean to offend anyone.
