We will have the car at SEMA....Scott is a very talented dude that knows his time schedules very well on F-body builds.... Organization and parts are the keys here.... The parts are arriving daily and we all know Scott has the rest covered off based on his build experiences to date.....

It should be noted that there is a team approach here and the interior is almost ready to ship from Toronto,,, and the drive line should ship over the next few days.... Paint will be handled by Brian and he has committed to a 4 week turn around given how clean the the shell is and and how strait the Carbon parts he is working with are.... This is a major thrash,,, but we'll do it...

I've got two different instant email subscriptions set up for this thread!

Reminds me of the 7-week thrash Fletcher's Customs did on the FREEDOMBIRD two years ago!

I can't wait to see this one come together... 50-or-so days until you have to leave for SEMA?

When will we start seeing daily picture updates Al??

Well,If this car does not get built it will be on me.Albert is 1 of the best customer's I have had since I started my business in 1984.If I need something it's here in a few day's.If a vendor doesn't call us back he just's calls another one and BAM the part's are here.Well it's time to go to work.
