Very nice man indeed. I wonder if he'd like to be in the shop while you work on some of that?

It would be nice to shoot with him. There can be a lot to learn from older guys. You may get some good advise on building also.

Sounds like you know what to do with it.  That's more than I'd know what to do.  Happy building.
