Talked with the shop this morning and it has not been started as of this morning. Waiting on gas filler neck ( supposedly this morning). According to the shop still waiting on wiring the stereo and installing the interior ( seats and carpet), has to install the door conduit, and 2 pieces of brake line and a couple of vacuum lines ( ran out of material).

Still have to paint the rear roll pan, side emblem accents, horn accents and grille lettering to match the body color and any touch ups that may be needed. Due to the extreme cost of paint and mixing the paint they want to do this last, all the prep work is done just waiting on the color and clear. Not really alot of space and not alot of buffing except the rear roll pan and that is not alot....so we will see.

Still has to go to the alignment shop, have the mufflers put on and that should be it unless there is some unknown/unforeseen mechanical issue. Plus the state inspection has to be completed.

I know they worked on it Saturday and Sunday this past weekend for sure.

I am kinda excited being this close, but am skeptical at this point. Don't really know how long all the little things take to get done but I am supposed to know for sure this coming Wednesday if he is gonna make the Friday date.

Although I really excited to get it back and understand that he is under a deadline, because of his own making, I would rather wait a couple of days to ensure it is correct and everything works 100% correctly. Last thing I want to do is get it and have issues with things not working properly just because he is rushing to get it finished.

I may ease off the date 1 week depending on what needs to be done and how close he is ( just have to sit down and really think about that). I would rather give him a few days to work out any bugs that comes up on the drivability test, hopefully none will arise but realistically something always comes up.
