Advice on route from Maine border + any Caravan's to join?

Excellent. Sounds like a plan is forming. We're aiming for the 6am start around Stamford, but will depend on accommodations. Playing on Expedia, it seems like about an hour from Stamford is about half the price. (But means getting up WAY earlier.)
Good luck on getting yours done. I've been there with my race FC. I had it in a car show (display for our race series) a few years ago about 2 weeks after it being pretty much a shell sitting on jackstands. Had to roll it in with an old set of 4 bolt hubs back on it (my 5 bolt conversion was lost in shipping) and vice grips clamping off the brake lines that didn't fit the old 4 bolt calipers.. actually used my drip trays that weekend.
I've got faith you can do it. We can sort out some details in the next few days as I get people to focus on the trip. (I'll probably PM you my email address to make it easier.)
Right now, baring a disaster (it is an FD afterall) we are 2 cars for sure, with I'd put it at 50% odds on adding a 3rd car (FC Turbo)
2 more want to come but one, his "+ guest" is a Bride's Maid that weekend and he can't skip it/go without her, and the other is literally in his final week of Dental School that week. After 7 years, he's not sure he can blow off the last week of Clinic, but he's trying.
