Well guys, just a few more days till 4/1 and the GB starts. I still haven't decided exactly what kit or kits I'm going to build, but I'm down to just 3.

I'm still in the final lap of finishing my Porsche 935 K3 and need about 2+ weeks to finish it. So I'll be starting a few weeks after most of you, but I've got plenty of time for two builds.

Richard,
I'm looking forward to it, as the subject matter is my favorite type of build for sure. Guess I'll have to finally make a decision for build #1 even though I'm going to be starting about a week late as I want to finish up my Porsche 935 K3 which is so close to the finish line, I can see it plain as day.

The best of everything running the show. I'm 100% positive that with you at the helm, it's going to run smooth as silk.

Excellent news, great to have you at the starting grid Robert! I'm looking forward to another old Bowtie in the ranks as well!

I have added you to the running list in the Official Group Build Thread

I will lock this thread now to avoid any confusion between the threads.

Cheers, D
