So I have been ordering parts to keep the build going. Today I checked with Scotty and several parts, which were ordered months ago, never arrived. Remember I am in CA and my car is in VA and that is where parts are of course being shipped.
I spent about 2.5 hours on the phone with 4 different suppliers, well know suppliers, tracking stuff down and getting things sorted. As of now, all but one supplier have been able to address the problem and solve it. I am still awaiting an answer re my new 18mm torsion bars.... Oh well, what else could I possibly be doing with my time?????? |

Personally, I would never expect a FLAPS parts kid to recognize off-hand a part for a not very well known sports car that has been out of production almost 2x as long as he has been alive. In fact I pretty much don't look to a FLAPS to have anything of interest unless its a universal part (like a battery) or for a current production car.
