The kit arrived!

Sorry about the long delay.  I've had several projects at work burning up all of my spare time for about a month.  Things should be smoothing out a bit now.  I have some more engine progress to blog about but I'm having trouble locating the pictures so I'll probably put that off for a couple of days.

My kit arrived a couple of weeks ago.  I had it delivered by Stewart Shipping.  They did a very good job.  The kit actually showed up faster than they originally thought it might given the completion date.  I was the second to last on the truck.  The last car was a Cobra bound for Louisiana.

The unloading process was pretty cool.  Robert parked his truck at the end of my street and we (with my kids help) unloaded about two dozen boxes and rolled them to my garage.

Next we unloaded the hood and flipped it in my yard.

The next part was really cool.  Robert's truck has an overhead crane with a track that has extensions that extend beyond the rear doors.  The frame comes with the body and some aluminum temporarily mounted to make shipping easier (one of the first build steps is to remove all of that stuff).  Robert located his crane above the frame, hooked everything up, raised the frame and carefully guided it out of the trailer.

You can see the cart that we loaded the frame onto in the last few pictures.  Finally we set the frame on jack stands in the garage and moved the hood inside.

I've since inventoried all of my boxes and reorganized my garage.
