Just call me Karnak (or is it CARnak?). Sorry Chris, I just hijacked your quote to show Grabber that my announcement last night was on the money. Its not that he didn't believe me, its just that his PSDS is at full tilt boogie right now cuz he's been waiting so long for his baby to arrive. It's coming Grabber, it's coming. Hang in there!

Grabber Posted February 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Per the VOPC: Your GT500 is still on Plant quality Hold. It has been on Hold since Jan. 17th. Almost 1 month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILSTANG Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Per the VOPC: Your GT500 is still on Plant quality Hold. It has been on Hold since Jan. 17th. Almost 1 month. Grabber, Sorry to hear this. Wish there was some way to get the real story for you. It took just a couple of day to build the entire car too bad they can't move yours along.

Five Oh B Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Per the VOPC: Your GT500 is still on Plant quality Hold. It has been on Hold since Jan. 17th. Almost 1 month. It probably goes without saying that BNSF's website still has no sign of your car being assigned a railcar yet as of this morning. I'll still be checking daily for you, though, Rob.

cknight Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Per the VOPC: Your GT500 is still on Plant quality Hold. It has been on Hold since Jan. 17th. Almost 1 month. I feel your pain. I have been waiting since March 29th. I find no rest in knowing my car is now off hold. Before the end of the day it may be on hold again, or worse yet, arrive and the dealer decide he needs to change the price because his month is slow. I am on pins and needle's untill my car gets here and I write a check for it. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grabber Posted February 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Kitty, I am not sleeping well. Waking up earlier than normal. I have been spending time in my shop and yard to keep my mind somewhat sane. I found out that there is a little more to the shift linkage bolt hole alignment problem. The holes in the transmissions were too small so when the bolts went in....it caused the casings to crack. Not pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The holes in the transmissions were too small so when the bolts went in....it caused the casings to crack. Not pretty. Ouch. That seems like a real brain-fart of a problem. Not something you would think could make it past initial QA, let alone through the entire build process. On the bright side, better they caught it before the car shipped to you.

str8black500 Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 I am at a loss for words. This has gotta be just a bit rough for you :heartbreaker: . I feel for you.

yrrej48 Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Grabber I know it sucks. I was in the same limbo for over a month. Came down to no Shelby's to share a rail car to my neck of the woods. But the minute I saw it on the transport truck all that went away. Now I have had it six weeks and only driven it 200 miles, but at least I can go out to the garage and see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to go shopping, maybe pick up some nice soft towels, a little no-streak window cleaner, some leather balm and a few candles to set the mood. :banana piano: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
