The kit is here!!



Right on schedule, our Coupe (#497 from this manufacturer) arrived on July 29th. The truck drivers were very friendly and very careful. We have a pile of boxes to go with the parts that were temporarily attached to the car. Amazingly, we are expecting many more boxes as individual parts were back-ordered.

The back-order will not be a problem, as we still have a lot of work to do with what we did receive. We need to get back to cleaning up the donor parts. Then we need to build a body support (called a buck) to allow us to remove the body from the chassis. In order to store the body in the garage when we're not working on it, the buck will have to be tall enough to store the body above the pile of parts (seen below on the right) but low enough to clear the garage door opening.
