I seem to have the impression that with the exception of thee and me, 
everyone in the LNC2 universe is flying by now. You better slow down, 
I think you are getting too far ahead of me!):

When I acquired all my panel crud, it was state of the art, now I 
fine out that my GX60 isn't even WAAS upgradable...bummer

  Wait ... don't forget me ... I'm still hacking away at
  my LNC2 ... 360. Moving into the cockpit. All structural components
  complete. I'm laminating in the "tunnel", seatback and "glove compartment".
  Then moving forward. So don't get so in a "hurry". I'm coming along. BTW ...
  I have no instruments at all, no engine, prop, governor, upholstery, paint
  and other stuff missing. Have the moula just not enough time and energy all
  the time to hack away all day or even every day. Ya'll hang in there ...
  good comes to those patient hangers on.

Fellas,
 
Fret not.  Not too long ago when Lancairs were all slow build models, it took a lot longer to finish them than where you are at now.  I picked up my early airframe in November 1987 (#212) in Oxnard, California.  First flight was March 1999. 
 
During the building process I thought, "man, I gotta get this thing done 'cause I wanna go fly."  Now, I look back and think, this maintenance stuff sucks, building was more fun.
 
I'm jealous.
