F5R6814 arrived today!!!!

Well, F5R6814 arrived this evening about 6pm. This was the third drop off for the driver that day. It took about an hour from when he arrived to get everything into the garage. Thanks to all the helpers. As you can see from the pictures below, the wife did a great job keeping everyone fed and entertained.
Started inventory on the 15 boxes. Got through the first 2 this morning. Man, it takes a bunch of parts to build a car... :)

My wife's work. The fabulous planner!!!!

All the boxes that come with the kit.

Unloading. The GTM was going to Oklahoma

We unloaded in the middle of the street that feeds into our neighborhood. That got a little interesting after dark.

Lining the body/frame up on the dolly I built to move it around. From here we rolled it down the street and into the neighborhood. Several folks stopped to come check it out.

Admiring our handy work...

The move in crew. I'm on the left. Cousin next to me. Friend in red. Dad on the right.

My daughter and friends kid taking her for a spin.

Did the obglitory sit in the seat and go vroom-vroom. If we can trim the video down, I'll post it.

Now back to parts inventory tonight. Plan to clean up donor parts tomorrow and build the body buck.

On its way!!!

Stewart Transport called on Friday and kit should be delivered on Wednesday night or Thursday morning.

Making a Home

Kim and I with the help of my Aunt and Cousin painted the garage this week. We used the Rustoleum 2 part concrete epoxy. It came out great.

Here are some pics of her new home:
