    Door panels finished. New chrome accents on the lower part and new black leather inserts. I think the interior and top will be completely finished on Monday, maybe Tuesday!

    No its impossible. The carbs and the distributor are several weeks out from being back in the USA. Depending on customs, could be longer. And we still have a lot to do.

    Three things screwed me up. 1) the body shop was over 2 months late finishing. We couldn't send the parts to Italy while it was there. It was "next week, next week, next week..." So frustrationg

    2) my box got hung up in Italian customs for a month.

    3) DinoPoint gave me a 30 day turn around at first, then the distributor became another month.

    The interior and top have taken twice as long but it didn't matter as the parts weren't delivered. But it could have been another 2 weeks of working on other things like electrical issues.

    So I lost 4 months since the beginning of the year on the schedule. It can't be done in time.
