Sadly, the 2008 deadline was missed.

The good news - it was not in fact a deadline! 

It was just an arbitrarily self-imposed date that will now haunt the non-pinball factory as anxious investors queue up for their $5.00 refunds...

The clear-coat guy quite rudely took off for a holiday, letting the whole production line come to a grinding halt. The nerve of the guy!

The even gooder news is that pretty much everything is ready to reassemble as soon as the CC is done, so hopefully won't be too far off...
