Really got what it takes to own a classic? (Re: Gotta have patience!)

Dear Buick_65 and mid-60s Buick "patient" types,

I'm going to go ahead and state the obvious.  Everyone has been extremely patient.


Uh, the ultimate test of patience is circumstances like this: . . . . .

I spoke with PMI yesterday..... again.

I am told that they will start producing them next week.  If some one needs it soon, let me know and we will start with those.

 Thanks for all of your patience.  This has taken much more time then originally thought.

Chuck, John and those that need motivating,

 I thought that if the dash pads would have made the February finish line,  you all would have been more serious about getting those cars done. lol

Lost BCA Nationals points in Springfield MO so prefer to have new dash installed before BCA Nationals in Brookfield if possible.

As always I prefer right to fast.

Today I got an email and a phone call from Alan at PMI. 

They have not shipped any pads yet. That's the bad news, but the good news is Alan will be shipping a pad to me to check fit for approval. 

 Thanks for hanging in there,

  Loren
