[Mr.Fixit]

In defense of Vern,
Building a custom car is a lot of work. Many things need to be put on, taken off, modified, put on, taken off, then sent out to get plated. The parts that go into these cars are not all off the shelf components either, some have lead times of several months. Making a "delivery date" is an estimate, based on countless assumptions and experience in doing the work. I always gave conservative estimates to the customers, better they be pleasantly surprised with an early delivery date than upset with a late day of delivery. I delivered a car several weeks late because Ross pistons didn't get me my custom pistons on time, some of these things are out of the control of the builder. You are fourteen months into this build, being 4 more weeks late is a small setback, in percent. Or, as I liked to tell overly eager customers, "You have been waiting for this car your whole life, another two weeks won't hurt."
