Like PAP, it looks like they've been getting so many new cars lately that the updates on their email list are even less accurate than they usually are, which is not even close.
PAP only has 2 guys on staff that even know how to access the website, as far as I know... of those two, only one apparently can edit anything, and doesn't do a very good job at it even when he does find the time.

Ironically, I believe the same company that controls PAP also controls Gary's, as well as a few other yards in the area. It's odd to think that for the same company to run the yards, prices and availability could vary so much. For instance, Gary's sells engines for $99 several times a year - while PAP does not. Ever.

Anyway, back on topic. If there's anything I can do, let me know. Unfortunately, I don't see myself making it out to Binghamton any time at least in the next 3 weeks. By then, you'll probably already have the car finished, at the rate you're working. I would like to come take a gander, at some point, though. At least I can have that satisfaction, even if I can't actually help.
