Man, I feel like all hope is lost with this build...
Haven't been on the site in some time, but I have been super busy with work and the zombie apocalypse. @MusbJim and I are friends on FB, so I am sure he can fill in the details... LOL!
Nonetheless, I have made a little tiny tiny bit off progress. After my last post above, I gave Greg the quarter windows to get re-chromed. Believe it or not, it took 3 months to get back ! ! ! And it wasn't cheap either (but the quality is amazing).
WIth the chrome trim back, I set to work in reinstalling all new rubber and the original glass. Success was determined when I finished and NO glass was broken. These things are a PITA to put back together (pics as always included).
Now for my lost hope with this build...
There are some things I am not capable of doing and don't want to attempt. I was going to have my coupe sent to Greg several months ago, but he has been super busy. Then we agreed to have it delivered in the 2nd week of September 2021. That got delayed. Now I have been patiently waiting to get another delivery date for his guys to do some work on the coupe. Still no response :-( I try to find the balance of being understanding and being a paying customer (and huge supporter of his on this site).
To my SOC friends, when do I just accept he is too busy and can't work on my Coupe?? My engine he built and I paid for back in April is sitting at his shop covered. I could show you the string of texts, but you all know me well enough to not BS on this site and I do respect Greg immensely... I think at one point my Coupe was going up there a year ago this month??? (I'd have to go back and look)...
Anyways, looking for some advice from the great Yoda's and Masters of the Madness. You all always given me good advice over the years :-)
And just for fun. For the old timers (including me) that have seen my little mini me as a baby when I was building the Speedster... here she is now... 6 years old and acting like she is 16 ! !
Looking forward to all your guidance on this one. Thanks!!
