@*LongFella posted:With all the wonderful advise (thank you all!), I am hoping this new game plan will work. Still need to connect with Greg about it, but I think it minimizes the work his shop/guys need to do and I will take of the rest... I know I'm capable... just need to stop being lazy...
Plan:
- Ship coupe to carpet shop (instal headliner, cut carpet to car and interior pieces)
- Ship coupe from carpet guy to Greg (glass install)
- Ship coupe from Greg to home (I'll finish the rest)
I will need to get the engine that is sitting on his shelf. I'll tap @MusbJim to help with the engine install like he did in my Speedster
Basically, I just need Greg and his guys to install the glass (front, door frame and windows, quarter windows, back glass). I'll do the rest
I'll source all the missing parts I need from Greg (at least that continues to give his shop business).
Now, to see if I can get a hold of Greg
Look at that, coming up on almost a year since my last post.
Got a quick update:
There is tiny minuscule of an update to give.
I've got a pair of seats sitting in my garage covered collecting dust. An engine I paid cash for sitting on a shelf somewhere in Greg's shop collecting dust for over 2 years. Quarter windows installed, headliner, and rear seat pad. The rest of the interior sits in his shop collecting dust.
His last word/agreement to me was having it back at the end of August 2022. My wifey and I were traveling in Europe all July so that worked out. Please he had vacations, etc.
Not sure what to do anymore. You ALL know I have been extremely patient beyond any customer/friend should have to. And I know for a fact all the cars being push out now were ordered well after I started this build and engaged Greg.
What do you all think I should do???
Options:
1.) Extend Greg another olive branch and give him a little more time -OR-
2.) Pick it up as is, collect the parts I paid for and have deposits on and finish it up myself (sourcing another shop for help where needed)
3.) Any and all other thoughts you maddening friends can think of
@MusbJim what do you think my brotha?
