    Wink I did it

    I just ordered my MK4 kit today and set up a completion date for march 18. I still have to contact Stewart and set up delivery.
    My order includes : Powder coated chassis, body cut-outs, kirkey high back seats, power steering rack, 2015 IRS, IRS center section, vintage gauges, 17x9 front and 17x10 1/2 rear halibrand replicas, heater/defroster, chrome roll bars, 12.88 wilwood brakes. Eng/Trans info tbd. This is so cool.

    Congratulations & Make Sure You Do the Following:

    1. Pinch yourself to make sure you are awake.
    2. Then go to your liquor cabinet & pour yourself your favorite Scotch, Bourbon or Tequila, neat of course. (Long Pour Please!)
    3. Hoist it high & say: The Fun Is About To Begin!
    4. Then enjoy that adult beverage. (No Shooting It, But Savoring It Instead!)

    Congratulations From The Dark Side!

    Boyd, the 2 months was self-inflicted. I could have gotten it earlier but I only a single car garage and had to sell my HD and a '72 Vette to make room.

    Well it finally happened. The Stewart driver called me at 8:30 am and said he was 30 mins away and at 8:50 am he was pulling up in front of my house. Thanks to Phileas Fogg and CraigS and Rick my brother and Dave long time friend for all the help getting the frame on my home made dolly and the body on the body buck. With only a single car garage 24 of the 26 boxes had to be put in my basement. 2 boxes (IRS center section and IRS spindles) we put in the garage. The Stewart driver, Josiah a super nice guy had only 5 kits on his truck and the next stop after me was going to Ohio. I've been doing inventory since delivery and only just finished. I only found I was missing the fuel tank strap fasteners and a few other washers for the dash and e-brake boot. The only things on backorder are the quick jack components, chassis wiring harness and the wheels. With Phileas Foggs help I'll try to upload some pics soon.
