Ray, what a great job posting your story, and the build came out beautifully. I was not a member back in the day, but would have been hanging on your every word as the build progressed. As a owner of a of CR mine was del. in 1992, and too was never finished, I have learned a lot just reading your post's today (spent 3hours looking though your posts, well worth it
As mine is now 95% finished, I went though the same issues you had
We here in the PNW, are talking about a trip this summer down your way, we would like to know if we could stop by and see your wonderful collection? As one CR owner to another would love to see yours in person. Good to see another club member still kicking around . Happy Holidays. Cheers Tom.
