After getting what I needed out of JCDV and realizing Vando was just not a good place to start, I sent them (took them) to the local scrap recycler. My friend remarked that turning JCDV on its side and tearing into it while I was still there was cold.
But at least now the Challenge C3 is in a better place for me to get started on it! So, silver lining?
Finally off the trailer where it's been for almost a year. Assessment starts next week after I return from a DE conference in Albany, NY.
