Starwolf, I'm really sorry to hear about the problems with CR. It's frustrating to purchase something and then wait. The only good thing is that you will get the parts. I know we have been through this before but the new ownership is a positive note although it will take a little time to get back to "normal". One of the problems with backorders has been internal. I have communicated with the new President just this week and he is fully aware of the problem and the fix. I went to one of their suppliers who is close to me and confirmed that the steel parts are on order (trunk, hood hinge, etc.). He is working through the holiday weekend to make sure the parts are finished and delivered to Classic the first part of next week. All I can say is please be patient. I have also addressed the problem of trucking companies that deliver the kits. It's silly to send semi's to a residential home. I truly believe in their product but it's time to s*** or get off the pot. I know they had a great boat show recently and sold lots of boats so money is not an issue. It's time to get the internal problems fixed.

Art, I've looked through my stock to see if I have anything you can use to continue with your build. I have a few things I'll be sending out Monday.
