I did it

[jrcuz]

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!

Nothing wrong with Chevys, I just sold a '72 Corvette to make room for the roadster.

Yeah Gumball, I've been on here over 3 years so I know how these guys like to spend other folks money.

JR,
Congratulations! Myself and many others look forward to spending your money. Mine is currently at the "Bat" for painting. I hope the forum is done spending mine.

[Straversi]

My friend saw mine in the garage and said "damn, lots of guys say the want to, but you are actually doing it". Well, Jrcuz, you are doing it now. Welcome and have fun.

Congrats. Just recieved my roadster one month ago and I can tell you, even the frustration is great fun. ��

[Boydster]

Congratulations! I ordered mine and got it in 2 weeks... I cannot imagine having to wait 2 months! Just wait till that big Factory 5 Racing tractor trailer coming rumbling up your road.... tomorrow!!

[scottiec]

Congrats JR. Sorry I will be at work tomorrow. Let me know when I can swing on by!

[jrcuz]

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.
JR

[jrcuz]

Scott, sorry you won't be here. You can come by any time.

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.
