@sixnotfour That was not the issue. They had that part installed. But while playing with the wiring harness they found a couple minor issues and they now have the engine running correctly and the C02 is at 2.5. So the plan is to drive it and see how it runs. They tell me it runs great. We just sent the speedo back to Palo Alto Speedo as we think it may have a short in it. Also sent them the converter and the tire size and they believe they can sort and calibrate it to be spot on. It was reading about 10-12 MPH low and was occasionally hitting 140 MPH when the car was parked. Hopefully that is an easy fix. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I knew it looked fast sitting still but I had no idea it tracked itself on its own speedo! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Speedo should be at Palo Alto Speedo either this afternoon or tomorrow am. Hopefully they turn it around quick- I am sure they will. Hartmut has been great to work with. I am getting an itchy right foot. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Can it go on maiden drive before you take it up to NorCal? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

Hi Oscar - I don't know. I will be coming down with my cousin in his Ram with his trailer. I will also have my brother with me. I don't want to hang my cousin up; I will see what he says when the time is right. I will have to drive it before we load it on the trailer or I would probably explode with excitement as we trailer it home. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Hi Bill - Yeah, like everything else, we got delayed due to CV-19. I am hoping within the next week or so they will be able to get back on this. I really want to get this home and start driving it. My wife is starting to think I sold this car years ago and have lost my mind. I told her just because I lost my mind does not mean I sold my Six. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I figured as much. So many things were delayed or cancelled it's hard to keep up with is all.

Michael, hope you’re still monitoring this thread. Don’t give up / never surrender... stopped in yesterday to find this. Pic 1: Kent says he’s doing the final buff, but I think he’s praying your wife will be happy with her new car. Attached Image

Letters going on engine grill, measure, then measure again, then count the little diamonds to make sure. That 3.2 has approx 2.4 miles of wiring that the boys are trying to organize and make presentable. I heard you just wanted a driver. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) You will be please.

OK. We have some great progress and the finish line is right in front of us. Here is a great picture Jim sent me showing the depth of this Irish Green paint and finish:

Many thanks to Jim, Kent, Andy, Bob and Dave!

Wow, this pic does a lot of talking. Almost more impressive to me than the depth is the side reflection and how right it is at the rear door join.

Gorgeous car, and more than deserved result. Kudos to all involved!
