Dave,

that is most kind of you, many thanks.

I think that there might be even more involved than ordinary arrogance.

I suppose that, almost naturally, those "experts" making their living from these cars hate
the thought of guys like you and me being be able to build a quite decent authentic car
by themselves. (Understandably) commercial interest easily outdoes sharing the same passion and enthusiasm. Also, over the years they sure have talked to endless legions of dreamers who are not serious about it.

Again, many thanks to you.

Best wishes,

Marcus
