Well OK... a little update. Its been pretty quite on the build thread. DV and I have been sticking mostly to email and phone calls while we bolt down the home stretch to get the car done and on the road. We've had a fair amount of last minute gremlins that had to be chased down. Some pretty nasty electrical issues and a fuel delivery issue. All those seem to have been put out of their misery!!!
Now we're waiting on a 4 wheel laser alignment. Only problem is the alignment shop is booked till next Tuesday 8/25. So DV is wrapping everything else up before then. A 4 wheel laser alignment is scheduled for first thing Tuesday. Then the car is off to the upholsters so they can start the carpet install first thing on the 26th. If everything goes as scheduled, I'll pick the car up from them on Saturday the 29th and get it back in DVs shop for the last pieces to go back in. The seats, harnesses and the roll bar.
There is definitely light at the end of the tunnel, but I'm not going to get to excited until I'm in the car and driving.
Here's a check list that DV completed the other day...
