Here's a long awaited but short update. Car is in the shop - completely stripped. Motor done , Tranny done. Finally after about a 2 year wait - its my turn now. Floor should be cut out this week - then body dropped for fitting onto the chassis - I assume after the cage is also fitted car should go out for paint soon also. My tech has pictures - I am hoping Greg Hubbs will post some again soon. I have no idea how to myself. Of course I will post more information once I have it also.

As soon as I have the pictures in my email - I will take you up on your offer - but at this time all my pictures are either already here or the ones I have most recently I can not send - because forwarding from my phone is not working because they only go in my outbox and are too large to send and never get sent. Thanks SAM

Thanks for the pics / update!
Not trying to be rude, but I'd definitely load that thing up and take it to another shop. Flipping back through the thread, it looks like the chassis was done and delivered Feb 2015. So in 3.5 years, all they've managed to do was a days worth of work in stripping the old car?

Greg: Thanks so much for taking the pictures of my build and posting them. I am sure the guys here appreciate the update - and if you don't mind please continue to take pictures as time passes and the build progresses. To answer the question of the time line - it is something that was agreed upon between the shop owners and me - and more importantly my wallet and me - There is a lot of other things that have transpired lately more toward involvement with the drive train and for all practical purposes which is almost complete (not together but about ready for assembly) now for the exception of the rear gears & drive shaft which is yet to be determined. The shop has crossed a major threshold now and progress will be a little speedier now.
