And nine months later, a chip set was born.
I was going to wait until I could take some much better shots, but I'm impatient - but luckily, I wasn't when it came to the design and order of these babies.

Like everyone else here, I must have gone through the designer tool and had "The Set" that I was sure of fifty times.
I can not express enough to those who are looking to make their first fully custom set: Listen to the criticism, the good and the bad. Like a true love, you'll know it when it finally hits.
So, onto the set!
If you're in my car, you're probably listening to something from the 40's, 50's or 60's. That twenty year stretch of history, music, pop culture, film, television, travel - it's enthralling to me. I wanted a set that seemed at home in a contemporary setting, but also wouldn't seem out of place while jet setting to Jamaica or Trinidad, listening to Frank sing "Fly me to the Moon" and sipping down a Cuba Libre.
Before we hit the rest of the pics, a quick shout to @rjdev7 , @deskjob101 , @BarrieJ3 , @JeepologyOffroad , @OneGearManySpeeds , @Rieguy and lots and lots of others who sent encouragement, work and praise I still don't feel I deserve, my way. Everyone here is awesome.
Slap on Harry Belafonte, and let's get to it.
Rack baby, racks baby! (Thanks @deskjob101 for the custom card box and me for the table design lol.)
Stacks baby, stacks baby!

I really appreciate everyone taking the time to leave comments or reactions, feedback, kind words and a dope atmosphere along the way here.
Yes there will be sample sets handed out. No, you can not buy them. No I do not have a preferred way of choosing who gets them. The first set is already in the hands of the one and only @deskjob101 - my brother from the same mother. (Like he's my brother brother, y'all. Best friend too.)
For all the awesome he has brought people here, and for being the coolest to me, the second goes to @rjdev7 - if he would like.
For the tower of Babel, and for being the most generous dude, the next set is for @BarrieJ3 - still can't believe he put the design power in my hands for the last meetup.
Outside of that, anyone who shows interest is a possible for a set. I'll probably wait a few days and then see what's what, see how many chippies I'm willing to part with (besides the extras) and post who's got one coming. We can exchange info in PMs and I'll get them your way.
Guys, thanks again for looking.
