@550 Phil posted:Michael. Just got off the phone with Greg. Talking most about my build. But I did convey your concerns. Obviously your car is well into construction. Your car is a Subaru with heat and AC etc. A much more complicated car than my car with a Type 4 with no heat AC ventilation etc. Your car will likely be finished a year before mine. I know how these things go. I built the first Subaru Spyder ever with Greg and waited forever. Ordered it in 2000 and got it in 2003. You I assume have the first Subaru Pre A. Being the first is always painful. Other than Outlaw cosmetics I’m keeping my car as simple as possible. We are both going to get awesome cars.
Phil,
I know, and really, folks should know that a coupe isn't twice as much work as a speedster, it's 3 times as much work. And I went Subaru (now 4 times) and I went off the reservation on several other things (AC/Heat, LED lighting, some interior mods, different brakes, etc. etc.) I'm at least responsible for half the extra time it's taken. It'll be great when it gets here, and I'm sure Greg will knock it out of the park.
Greg and I talk regularly, mostly...I get crazy busy sometimes, and we have a great relationship. I don't want folks to get the idea that this is normal. Nothing about this coupe is normal! I've made this one really hard. If I'd gone big type 4 (Stan is rolling his eyes at me) I'd have had the car a while ago. But I'm ok with it. I want what I want.
We need to plan a gray coupe get together!
Michael
