I'll be calling Corky today. Hopefully it's closer to eight weeks than ten weeks...
**edit**
Spoke to Corky for ~40 minutes this morning, all I can say is Bob (Lantana) undersold how nice Corky is to talk to. Very knowledgable, great wit, and stories that you could listen to for hours. We exchanged emails and are going to discuss the brass tacks of the deal.
Looking forward to the development of this kit.
