Wow! 8-12 months? I don't know what I did wrong. I sent my deposit check in December 2000. Peter tells me the truck will pick it up for delivery to me next Monday. That means the car will arrive almost 2 years to the day that I ordered it. I ordered just the basic assembly - not a turn key or even a roller. I did have Connecticut Custom paint it though and that added quite a bit of delay.
Like the other comments, I can't say enough about how helpful the guys have been. I visited twice and both times I was allowed free run to wander around the shop and ask whatever questions I had. And the guys were always offering tons of hints and suggestions to make the assembly go easier. Besides, the two year wait gave me time to clean out my garage, build the engine, and rebuild the rearend.
Now my biggest fear is that the delivery truck will crash in a snow storm somewhere between Connecticut and California.....nooooo!!
