@550 Phil posted:Yep Michael I think anyone building during COVID probably added another 6 months to their build. And whatever Greg tells me my delivery time is I’ll add another 6 month. Anxious to see your completed car. Hope to get out to LA some time soon.
@Lane Anderson posted:I'd say at least a year with supply chain problems. I know it did on my build. Indiana had a couple of lock-downs, some people didn't come back, and supplies were problematic, so I think 12 months is the minimum COVID delay.
I climbed in the same boat with my speedster build. Ordered it in Mar. of 2021. Greg said the build would be 10 to 12 months. Didn't see the body until the beginning of Mar 2022. A whole year to wait for the body. The body was then painted and work began to take shape. The engine was built in May of 2022, the chassis was built by Oct of 2022. The body was bolted to the chassis and engine installed in Dec. of 2022. As of Dec 21 I haven't heard a word. We did have a conversation and asked if May 2023 was enough time to have it done. He said that was plenty of time. I sure hope so......... I understand there are setbacks that happen and something's that are out of your control. But a phone call can ofter explain the reason for the delay. So all totaled if the speedster is finished in May it will have taken 26 months to build. So, Lane is right, and in this case 14 to 16 more months to build. I have to say mine is a Subaru build with air/heat and a bunch of extras. Up front I wish I knew it was going to take longer. When the guy driving the boat says it will take 10 to 12 months to build, I believe him. In this case and in other, It is what it is and if I want my dream car, I might have to wait a bit. Like any business, just when you think you have a grip on it, the world throws you a curveball and you have to adjust your swing. Looks like Greg and others are doing that.
