I put my $5K down on Jan. 4 and another $5 k right behind it for a chasis. I told Peter I "was in a hurry", a relative term in ordering a turnkey from a company with a backlog. My "kit" was finished and went to paint so I paid the $10K balance on the bonded body kit price, and she's back from paint. I have offered to pay another $10 k towards the completed roller (my motor is on the floor in a crate) but Peter said "no, we don't work that way, we finish the car then you pay". Both Peter Portante and Bob Putnam have been extremely helpful in educating me on choices and specs re wheel offsets (bought Vintage Wheels) and other technical aspects of the finished package. I could not be more pleased with the professionalism and quality of the people and the product. I attribute this continuing thread to Peter's virtual non participation in the "computer age". I am hoping to have my finished FIA#2117 before Christmas. The "Mystic Blue" body is waiting anxiously to have the KC 331 Stroker installed!! Have a great day and enjoy some more popcorn!! Rickd
