#116 is alive! The build took around 4 hours, without major issue.
Missing one screw - unfortunately not a common size, so I'll have to
get one sent out, but the interlock switch is holding in place with
just one of the two screws for now.

Some fuzzy (poorly lit) pics of the build at
https://picasaweb.google.com/103976355713671908425/KPA500KitBuild

Cosmetically, there's something not 100% right with the Z-bracket -
it's almost flush with the top of the front panel, resulting in a
slight bulge in the middle of the top panel (at the front only), but
that won't do any harm in the pileups ;)
