If anyone would be frustrated it would be bullit and since he isn't the fact that other people are getting mad about the timeline is kind of ridiculous.

I'm not frustrated about it taking so long. I'm frustrated about a pattern of shops giving waaaaay unreallistic timelines. You should always underpromise and overdeliver. Or at least attempt to. I love this build, I knew it was gonna take this long. And if I had big money like bullitt i'd do it to.

Thanks Jeff, I never said July as a finished date cause GTM got it in may thats just insane... On another note. The car has been put together for over a month now... GTM has been working on developing products because I asked them to add those products to the build... we would of been done and I would of had the car back months ago if it wasnt for me adding parts and having the car go from one shop to the next... GTM has done everything they said they would... I wish people would stop talking out of their butt about things they know nothing about... Honestly, they should talk to one party or the other to get the behind the scenes details before they run their mouth about a shop or build...

like I said we added and changed things... that was also posted in like june/july... and it states a "Month or so..." which means it could take longer... I guess the my350z guys love to use selective reading
