FFR4785 has just landed

[Curtis]

FFR4785 landed on my doorstep just a few hours ago. Was feeling sort of under the weather earlier but most of the symptoms seemed to have disappeared. It looks great even in its current state.

Currently taking inventory and so far only noticed that they forgot the cutout for the hood scoop. I didn't want them to do cutouts for the hood latches but they did them anyway. So maybe they got confused. We'll find out in the morning.

I got to get back to my boxes.

WoW!...If you took inventory of it in one day , you get the trophy....it took me about a year to check everything in the 16 boxes of stuff.
Take a few hours to outline the frame on the attached body panels (magic marker) , and write the location and orientation of each panel , before you remove it from the frame....
A few hours here will save you mucho hours later.
One more hint....check the spacing between the body and the aluminum panels before removing the body , some areas may be too close with the rubber weather stripping....
If you mark these spots now , you will not have a big headache later.
Good luck , and welcome to the club.
(P.S....don't rush , it won't do you any good anyway)

So, are you now my brother? I need to find out who has 4783 and I will know both siblings

That explains why I didn't see your car at FFR last week. Good luck Curtis!

Thanks guys.

Mr. Barry, I started to do an inventory check of every little bag but gave up with the detail checking after awhile. As long as it said "...assemby", I was comfortable. The main components I did check and good thing. They forgot to send me the tubular lower front control arms and assembly materials. The packaging slip had them marked "n/a".

Thanks for the tips with the installed aluminum panels. I will certainly mark them...hopefully I will remember what the markings mean later.

Right, don't bother opening all the bags, just make sure the bags are all there. If you find later that a bag is missing some parts, call FFR and they will take care of you, no problem.

Happy Holidays Curtis! While my package was much smaller than yours, it's still great to get something you want delivered to your doorsteps!
It's a pity I can't start at the same time but that's life. Hope you can take pics so we can follow along. Congrats again.
