So, based on your postings, you plunked down the deposit on August 10, 2015. You took delivery on or about March 20, 2016. So actual build time was about seven and a half months, including the thirty days you opted to wait for the "original style bonnet" that actually turned into a couple months wait. 

You had a seal problem on a trans you provided for the build. Took a couple of tries but you got it fixed.

You had some paint and chip problems, not repaired to your satisfaction. 

You think you had to wait too long for delivery of the car and were taken out of the build queue by a ruse perpetrated by Greg.

You accept Greg's explanation about the 2 car build headed to Europe, but his telling you that was just a slip of the tongue. He really never meant to speak the truth.

You repeatedly quote various unidentified "successful business owners" who told you not to have Greg build you a car. Using your best judgement and based on your previous experience you decided to move ahead with Greg as your builder. You seem to imply in your initial post that you had a bad experience with another builder, but it is unclear if that is the case.

You will not take your car back to Vintage for any repair or other work.

But, for these issues, you love the car.

Does that sum it up pretty well?

The reason for me sharing my experience is so others know what they are getting themselves into.

Unfortantely I do not love the car..

Its a nice car but with the headache and BS that came along with the build and builder and my attempt to try and have it fixed has just led to this sharing..
