Good luck!
Thanks - hoping I don't need them but there are a couple of small holes in the rear floorpan. I wanted to have them 'on hand' just in case. My concern is that the body shop gets into that area and then decides they need them - and then we are waiting for parts to ship.

With the body panels being 3 to 4 months away, I'm going to use that time to tackle anything else that might cause problems with the certification process. I had a local shop here put the car up on a lift and go over everything in the suspension. Ive ordered a center link and idler arm as there was some play in both. Also ordered all of the bushings and insulators for the rear end. Those parts are all shipping air and should be here in a couple of weeks.
