Well, I figure about a week and a half to the first lap around the block. The seats and console are back in with seatbelts installed, the fan switch for the a/c has been replaced and all the electrical on the interior has been finalized and tested. All the exhaust and e-brake components I had to remove to access the mounting locations for the safety belts have been reinstalled and the car is back sitting on all fours.

That leaves the front clip, front end wiring, a/c condenser/dryer/hose install and fluid fill/leak checks before firing the 460. Of course, nothing ever goes as planned, but a week and a half looks do-able. If I can maintain that schedule, I'll have plenty of time to align the front end, service the a/c and have the safety inspection done so I can get it tagged. We'll see how far off I am.
