    Welcome aboard, Rob! I haven't seen any Roadsters with that combination. Cool to read your vision to make yours just the way you want.

    I used to get frustrated with my slow progress (still do at times!), but finally realized for me the build process (two steps forward, one step back; "sure, I'll do that Mod--looks so easy"; inordinate time just staring and pondering my next step; tremendous satisfaction on the other side of a challenge [bending brake lines; 4 wheel alignment]; etc. etc.) is a significant portion of the overall fun. Enjoy the build!
