Not Ranked
Gary,
I've been attempting to post a "trip report" for the past several days and experienced the same problem. Prefer to post on their form but for the interim, this will suffice. I also have a CAV car (csx 4753) and although I've been updated weekly I was becomming extremely concerned with the numerous delays. Ergo the reason for my visit this past Wed. Flying from the east cost was no small task for me, the need to make such a trip was highly encourged by Gary Patterson himself. Wow, was I ever impressed. Gary picked me up at my hotel just as we planned and I spent the better part of the entire day with both he and Bob Marsh. Believe me when I say you've got nothing to worry about. The finish alone on these cars was far superior to my recently frame-off restored NCRS Top Flight 67 427/435 'vette. Equally as nice as the finish was the undercarriage and suspension,albeit they are still waiting on some rear compents. Although the entire work force was in the process of moving their entire facilities across the street, due to the need for more room, those individuals who were working on my car took the time to talk with me and explain what was happening as well as offering me some valuable insight for those operations that I will be performing. That trip was the best investment I made since purchasing my dream car. Believe me I was not dissapointed at all. A real class act. I'm at ease with this now having made the trip and can comfortably say that "the car will be done when it's done." I hope this helps alay any concerns that you or others have but if it doesn't you always have the option of scheduling a trip for yourself. I'm sure the folks at Shelby will be more than receptive to your visit.
Keep the faith,
Gary
