I've got my fingers crossed too! I got a call from the shop owner on Friday. He had called the wrong number earlier in the week and left a message and then called again when I didn't get back to him. Guy told him there was no "Vic" there. After looking up my number again, he finally got hold of me and said they were ready to move the car into the shop. But since the weather looked bad and they would be closed for the holiday he suggested we wait until Tuesday (tomorrow) to pick up everything. Now the weather looks lousy the next three days in a row. GAAAHH!! We'll see what the weather guessers say tonight.
Meanwhile, I've been making some progress on the console. Got the shifter mount installed and the rear console mounting bracket made. Luckily, I also test fit the shift cable to the transmission. Performance Automatics installed a deep cast aluminum pan on it and of course, none of the Lokar cable hardware fit. I had to mill the slotted bracket and the spacers, then make a trip to the hardware store for the metric socket head cap screws I needed. But I got it in place and it works nice and smooth.
I also made some templates for the filler panels I'll use to extend the bottom edge of the console down to the floor. That way I have a few things to work on while the car is gone. Hope everyone had a safe and fun Memorial Day holiday!
