Got there safe and sound and it's resting comfortably at the shop. I had to make a couple of trips back and forth before and after lunch to haul a few items. Plus I noticed the trip over had caused the gap on one of the doors to change very slightly, so I readjusted it.
Here at the house, I laid down the carbon fiber tape on the fenders and put the stainless trim on. I'll wait until the fenders are on the car to do the final adjustments. Also got the latch assembly reinstalled on the trunk lid. I need to swing by Metal by the Foot tomorrow and have them shear the material I need for the console. I'm going to give it a shot and see if I can come up with something halfway decent. I took some measurements and ordered a pair of 4" R-F speakers to go into the sides of the console. I think there's just enough room ahead of the shifter assembly to make them fit. I ran the wires from the head unit to the approximate area where they connect. I just didn't want to try to squeeze the 6.5" speakers up under the dash.
On a side note, a tech from Vintage Air called this morning responding to a message I left last Friday. When I explained the issue I was having, he agreed the likely culprit was the switch. Without my asking, he offered to send me a replacement for free. I love free!! Pretty good support there.
