New personal record that I hope to god I never have to try and break

It took like 3 days to recover from this 36 hour scramble (including shipping and the work day I had ahead of starting). My back and knees like to remind me I'm not in my 20s anymore . From the full build to shipping, this was a new personal best. I had to cut a number of corners, cheat in a number of ways, and live with little mistakes that I normally wouldn't tolerate. Haste makes waste as they say. But considering... they came out pretty good.
The customer said that the paint was a bit damaged in transit, probably because it only had about 7 hours to cure instead of a full 24, which is usually my bare minimum, and/or because it was 34 F out when I was painting... but we were out of options and time. The fact that it made the production at all when by their word prior it arrived 2 days late is a miracle. I'm not sure the story on that but whatever. Here is hoping it worked out ok.

UPDATE! They managed to get it in time to use it, though the extremely short time frame for assembly (like, 2 hrs it sounded like?) meant they did have issues on the runway TT_TT I guess they helped it out with the magic of editing.
