So that's how you do it? Common sense engineering.

Archie,

The time and energy spent on those scoops is amazing! Having just started glassing, that would have taken me a month! I can now relate and appreciate the time and effort you all are putting into this car. PLEASE, keep posting those pics.

Amazing stuff!

Well, Thanks.

I've been watching your interior build thread & you're doing a pretty good job on your fiberglassing too.

Thank you very much. I appreciate the words of encouragement. I have to admit I study as many pics from the Miura build as possible trying to unlock all your secrets. Please keep posting those images.

Thanks again

ALERT.............. Need help from any UPS employee who can help find a missing package.......

I'll update this thread later..........

HOWEVER, we've run into a problem.

You'll recall that several weeks ago we sent many of the interior parts out to San Antonio, TX for the 2nd phase of upholstery work.

They finished that work & sent 5 packages of finished interior parts back to us on Nov. 30th.

Well....... we only got 4 packages......

Yep, some of the custom made parts that we made for this car ARE LOST.

Sure they were insured but for no where near what it would cost to make the parts again.

We've been working with UPS to try to find the package & in fact I now have the manager of the local UPS distribution center who's going to personally try her best to try to find our missing parts.

The reason I'm telling you all this is that I'm kinda hoping that someone reading this might just happen to work in the San Antonio UPS distribution center or in the S.L.C., UT or the Independence Missouri "known overgoods" centers & might just be able to help.

I'll name my 1st born child after your PFF screen name if you can find these items.

Here are pics of what's missing, They're all upholstered in White now.....

OH! now that stinks, I hope they find it for you.
lets hope it is just because of X-mas shipping and has not been lost for good.

does the tracking # give you any clue as to where it might be.
Archie DEC 16, 04:49 PM
Yes.

The tracking numbers on all 5 of the boxes show that 4 of them left SA for IL on Nov. 30. Then on the 5th box that's missing, it was scanned again on Dec. 1st at SA with a note that it was missed the previous day & would be sent the next business day. That's where it disappeared. The actual package hasn't been scanned since.

In case someone from UPS happens to read this, I can PM the tracking number if he will contact me.

Since my last posting on progress, we've got a lot done.

During this period of time, we got our 2nd phase of interior upholstery back from the interior shop.

It's well documented in posts earlier on this page that UPS managed to lose 3 of the finished interior parts & that we are still searching for them.

Here's the parts we did get back & they look great.
