I was just going to create a public link for the file on dropbox, and then
share it on this forum only, with a simple request that we keep it on the
forum.  Those with the link can view it directly on drop box.  My concern
is that I am likely to make a bunch of mistakes building this car.  I very
much encourage and welcome constructive comments and suggestions from the
forum - but not that interested in criticism from the "outside world."
