Delivery went well. Bob, from Stewart Transport was very helpful and we had no problem wheeling the body and chassis up into my rental garage. I pretty much immediately went to work on the inventory. The girlfriend stopped by and assumed the role of box checker while I created a pile of crate paper the size of Jabba the Hut. The backorder list wasn't too bad. The main items missing were the radiator, IRS upper and lower control arms, gas cap, rear springs (which actually arrived the day before ...

...you can see I've already started a collection of parts.

I've been trying to lay out parts in the general vicinity of their location on the car. I'm sure this system will quickly fall by the wayside as soon as the plethora of boxes arrives on the Stewart truck. Going to the factory and seeing the pallet of boxes that comes with the kit was helpful to mentally gauge the size of the area needed. ...

While it definitely feels like Christmas Eve to me, the unfortunate truth is Santa Clause (in this case) won't bring me my kit while I sleep. That, and he drives an 80' long semi-trailer.

I realized I was going stir crazy waiting for my kit to arrive (currently day 23) when my floor level body buck started to grow. It first grew legs to put the body approximately six feet off the floor. Then it sprouted two shelves which will be perfect for storing parts in boxes. When it was about to grow a third shelf, and angle cut support struts, it hit me. I desperately need my kit to get here so all of this energy can be channeled into my car, and not what is a glorified piece of furniture. ...
