I'll 2nd that

Man, I really don't know. This entire affair may have just tainted the car in my eyes. Would I ever be able to look at it without remembering this nine months of crap? This just did not turn out to be the fun and exciting project I had hoped for. Instead, it became a dark blot that I may just decide to get rid of as soon as possible.

I think a lot may depend on how it run's. Are you moving it today?

when you get it back and put the petal down the last 9 months will fade away and be gone.

Don't let someone else's poor planning, work ethic, follow through, personal problems, and lack of ability ruin YOUR car. I've never heard a bad word about the shop you are having it taken to now, so I really hope to see a drastic turn around in your experience.

No. A delivery I was expecting today won't take place till tomorrow (Tuesday), which of course I didn't find out about until just a little bit ago ( ) , so I won't be going to Chris's till the afternoon on Tuesday. I've got errands to run today that I might as well get out of the way.

I got an couple of emails from him saying that he will arrange for transport, but will be working on the car till it is either finished or is hauled away. My plan is to show up there Tuesday afternoon to either video the car being test driven, or pulled onto a flatbed to be hauled away. One or the other will be taking place at that time.

Well said!!

Well Rich today is the big day. Either Chris gets your car running or it goes to Aaron Scott to get finished. I'm on day 141 waiting for my car to get the motor put back in. Maybe it will be done by my Birthday in Dec. LOL

Yeah, I'm planning on running out there between three and four. I'm hoping this damned splitting headache I have goes away by then. Already popped some Excedrin. Guess this is really wearing me down....

Anyway, I just talked to Chris and he said the car will be finished then. I'm going to check with Aaron to find out how late I can have the car flatbedded there, just in case.

Mike, I hope your car will get done real soon. When I was out there last time, Chris told me that a part was missing on the engine that LME forgot to include, so I guess that is the holdup. But I assume you have been in correspondence with both Chris and Bryan and are on top of things.
