Blip Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Looks like Tasca should have most of the parts for our conversion by the 23rd. :happy feet: Only thing the may be missing is the front fascia, which is on backorder. Agreed not to ship our car up there until they have all the parts. Our 16 yr old passed his licensing test last week so he's using it almost everyday now. Helps him handle the waiting. We also got both 1/18th models to have something to look at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kahmann Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Congrats! How long do they expect the base install to take, once they have your car and all of the parts? Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRT 0403 Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Great news Blip. We may be coming out of the shop about the same time :happy feet: TRT0404 should be coming out the same time as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blip Posted February 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Thanks guys! :D Ken--Their best guess so far is just a couple of weeks, depends on how much work is required of they body shop to fit/paint the body parts. Suspension and exhaust changes should just be bolt-on work. Rick--we'll see, but with my car, nothing starts until they have all the parts, so it could take longer than I hope to even begin the project. Does Quantum have all the parts for your build?

Nope, it was just a convenient time for me to drop it off. It will sit for a while before they go to work on it. I'm not expecting delivery before early April, but it feels good to know it's at least in their yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting excited now that this project may be starting soon. And, I think I know how you feel, my waiting at home while he's out cruising is worse than his waiting to ship off the Mustang to Tasca. :o <_< :blink: :eek5: :D Hope to get him into a teen advanced defensive driving course this summer--they require 6 months of driving with a license before a teen driver can attend.

Blip Posted March 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 We're still trying to get a straight answer. The superchargers may be delaying my package. Skipping that upgrade and just staying with the base kit may help to speed our build along. Good luck on getting answers, that seems to be the toughest part. Tasca does tells me all that they know, whenever they get anything new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRT 0403 Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Latest no-news is no-news message from Quantum "We haven’t received the kits from Shelby Performance Parts yet. We call daily on status. The interior is done and installed, and it looks really sharp. If you’re going to be in town any time soon, please feel free to stop by." Fortunately it's Vert weather in Texas so I'm passing the time cruzin in the ragtop.........life is good. Blip, any more news on you end?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well... ...we did come back with just a bit more then when we left home. :D Not enough to pay for any major upgrades, but it will help to cover some of the shipping costs up to Tasca and back.
