Still no news.
Last communication I had with Craig, the boss down there, he said the end of Oct he would have a complete bus and they would be in production mode.
Follow up email to him last month went unresponded.
any of you eagle guys in the know, know anything?

i dont know, man. i have been talking to dan lenz in the parts dept down there pretty frequently in the last two months and he seems to be pretty straighforward about their progress. you should call him and chat with him, hes a really, really nice guy and will take the time to talk to you for 20min or more and share tons of stories about working at the factory for 10 years.
he says that the powertrain is in(cat hooked to a 10spd eaton autoshift), along with the dash, their just having a hell of a time getting the wiring harness in for it. last i heard about 2 weeks ago, it hasnt been started yet.
funny fact i learned: you know why they dropped the bogey and switched back to a tag axle? because the OEM manf. of the drop box they used to use wont make them anymore. completely reverse engineered a model 01 and built the model 25 on that design.
