I hope you being out of the office was because you were basking in the sun on vacation somewhere. I am pretty excited to have the car on the ground again, even if it has to go back on the lift to finish stuff underneath. That rear shot was definitely my favorite that I took ha ha. Friday may be a no go. I'm trying to do a half day and wakeboard in the morning then go to work so I wont be around for lunch. Maybe tomorrow if you are around.

Not much of an update Gaetano. Brett's been pretty swamped with work that was ahead of me and there turned out to be a lot more work to be done to my car than we originally anticipated when I dropped the car off. There is still work I'd love for Brett to do to the car but after a heart to heart conversation with Brett on timing I've decided to move some of the work to Best of Show Coach Works in order to speed up completion. The car has been down for OVER 9 MONTHS so where possible I want to speed things up to get the car to drivable again!!

Current plan is to pick up the car Monday and transport it over to BOS.

I'm sure there are a host of challenges between now and the car moving under its own power but I would really like that to happen by mid June at the latest. May not be done by then but it will mean a lot to me if I can get a bunch of the little stuff done I've scheduled for myself. I still need to fully plumb the cooling system on the motor, wire everything up which in some respects having a complete MAST harness makes harder. Not to mention reassemble a bunch of stuff.

2 things.

9 months ain't nuttin (but it sucks).

Is BOS able to commit to cranking this out? (I'm sure you discussed it).

9 months feels like an eternity to me lol. Especially, when I never dreamed it would take this long. I honestly thought at least as far as shop work was involved that I'd be done in December, worst case March. But then the wheel fiasco happened so much of the delay is due to that and not any of the shops I've worked with. This is the longest the car has been undrivable and out of my possession since I bought it in 2006 and even then I had the car drivable 7 months after purchase.

Dick hasn't seen the car yet so until he does I don't think its fair for him to commit 100% to anything. However, I asked him about removing the inner fenders and doing all the work on those, the alignment, finishing fabing the trans tunnel, notching the fuel tank. He seemed pretty confident they'd knock out all that stuff in a week. Everything I've seen and everyone I've talked to has had nothing but good things to say about BOS so I'm feeling good about it.

Chad, the car looks awesome. Congrats on the improvements. Can't wait to see it again in person. I'm going through my 2.0 build right now and you're way ahead of me. I've been following your thread closely and I understand your frustrations. Seems like you're getting over the hump now though and you're on the final stretch.
