Isaac Shultz's Sonex Project

People are shocking me with their generosity. When I outlined my fundraiser plan, allotted 2-3 months of online fundraising, but thanks to so many wonderful donors I speculate I will have enough money to make an offer by the end of November. I just received several pictures of the kit I am looking to buy. It has about 300 hours of the previous builder's work, nearly all in angle pieces, which at just about done. The previous owner bought it several years ago but lost interest. I am so excited to begin work, and I cant stop looking at these pictures!
