    Hi Kevin,

    Sorry I haven't responded about this sooner. I'm in the Arvada area of Denver and building a 7 SS. It's really quite well along, & like Eric it is possible it will be flying this coming Summer. I've been a little overwhelmed with medical problems that my wife has, so the fox project has dragged on longer than I had expected. You're very welcome to stop by - there are several Kitfox in this area. You're way East of here... wish I could fly it over to you!

    John,

    Is your project at an airport or working on it at home? I get to Denver more often than I do the Springs.

    Thanks

    It's at home... garage, basement shop, and generally all over the house!

    Hey, just be warned. We have all been looking at John's build and if you go there you may become discouraged after seeing it for yourself. He seems to be using NASA level build criteria. LOL. We all wish we could build like him.

    John, hope your wife is going to be OK.

    And yes, John's building skills are top shelf.

    Eddie and Steve - you guys will give me a reputation I can't live up to. Thank you for the nice compliments. Kevin - pay no attention to these guys!

    I had a '48 Plymouth when I was young... shoehorned a 283 Chevy V8 & the drive train from a '59 station wagon and a Spark-O-Matic floor shifter in it. It had a few dents. It wasn't a real pretty car (original paint even!) but it was a real sleeper for driving around Butte, Montana. It also had a back seat as big as my living room sofa. I think my Kitfox will be a little like that - it won't be showy, but it'll be solid.

    Hey John, when were you in Butte Mt? I was working there in 1973 and 74 building houses and Fairmont Hot Springs Resort. Jim Chuk
