Hey Teo,
Just got up to date last evening on your build and came across a familiar picture:  I knew I recognized it because I took it! Glad to be able to help out if even in the most insignificant of ways. While everyones waiting for some more pics of the build (I love Mexico Blue BTW it a great color to live with too. I had it on my '74 Targa and liked it more and more each day) here are a few more of the Cox Motorsports build ffrom above:

What can I say...
The car is still at the body shop. Since we could not give them a precise ETA my project was put in a queue. Then when they started on it they found that was some of the powder coating that spilled over to the outside of the tub. That meant that they had to sped a long time to get it off... I am going to see them this afternoon for an update. Still I don't think it's coming out any time before the end of Sep... Last year (3.6 swap and widebody conversion) I learnt that there is no point in getting stressed abt the time... These things take forever and whatever you have in mind in terms of how long it will take you should triple it (same as with your initial budget  )

I went to the body shop last week.
This is the gist of it... after they started working on the car (3 weeks after it was dropped there) they found some of the powder coating had spilled over on wthe outside (rear quarter panel, roof, windscreen wipers area). So they had to spend some time in getting that off. I trust these guys... last year they did a great job on my other car so... Are they slow? YEEESSSS but hey... The idea of the Nov-11 DE at VIR is slipping away... |

As long as you're happy, that's all that matters. I'm sure you trust them, and they obviously know what you expect. Of course, you want it, but you want it 'done right', so it's going to be worth the wait.
That said, I hope to get a ride in it when you get it back! Charlotte isn't that far away (1.5-2 hours).  Mike
