I'm very happy for your friend.  I can just imagine the knots that must
have been starting in his stomach.  I hope the trip isn't too far.  Of
course the 'test rig' is put together so you can really examine the
thing closely before coating.  I do worry about your assesment on
whether this indivdiual can deliver what he promised to start with. 
We'll hope for the best for you.
