@ALB thanks for asking. Greg was going for body on frame by the holidays, but I told him not to kill himself about it. I sent him the brakes I wanted used a couple weeks ago and I know that installing those is a whole lot easier to do before you drop on the body. We also opted to go with the umbrella handle emergency brake and that requires a bit of pre-body-drop fettling I think. That was a very recent decision and so any added time there is my fault. The shots above are post paint, pre-color sanding, so they were using their stores of elbow grease on that when we spoke. He is working on a new way to install/hide the AC/heat/defrost set-up on the Pre-A dash so that it doesn't spoil the aesthetics, he's really going the extra mile there. For now I told him to make sure everyone left for the holidays in as relaxed a frame of mind as possible. I'm excited, but the barn's not burning down. Having had customers all my life I know there's at least one that's up his *** all the time. I also know it ain't me. "Don't be that guy" is a good motto sometimes.
In other news Outback is finishing the motor and getting that ready for delivery, the Vredestein tires I bought have been delivered, and I have a box of stuff to send Greg (Out of Sight sound system, Vintage shifter, LED lighting, etc.) so I guess I'd better get off my duff and get that to him soon. They are back from break on Monday, and perhaps we'll see some new pics/details next week. I'll keep you posted, literally!
