Snoopy49 Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 So if they upgrade the paint shop before they start production of the Fusion or the 2014 Mustangs, those 2013 Mustangs that are produced after the upgrade will be painted using the new 3-wet paint process. Now all we need to do is determine when the upgrade will take place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not likely. Now all we need to do is determine when the upgrade will take place. Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy49 Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Because, my car hasn't been scheduled yet and I would like to know if there is a chance it will be painted with the new system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave 316 Posted October 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Ok, car is built and now sitting on ramp 51. So far I would consider myself being lucky. Car has an eta of Nov 3rd. Ordered Sept 17th, build complete Oct 22. Man I can,t wait. Update when I can find out how to get a train car number. Am I correct that the dealer gets this info?

BCPD199 Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 that's pretty quick from order to build, you got lucky for sure I must be even luckier. I ordered mine on Aug 24th, got a build date of the week of October 22nd, just found out today it was built Friday the 19th and is already enroute!

ICOOLUM Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 I called and found out my build date isnt until Dec 17th even though they issued my VIN in October. I'm guessing it must have to do with some holiday shutdown scheduling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave 316 Posted November 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 My guess of Nov 15th is looking pretty solid. Car just was assigned a railcar number today, leaving the yard tomorrow, and 3-5 days in transit to jersey, as told by auto port limited in flat rock mi. now bring on the NVH LOL,LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Madlock Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 next step, like my buddy on this and other forums, ask opinions on a million mods i will never buy!!! It's not enough to simply ask. You must then disagree. Better leave your car at the dealer until you get the protocol straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave 316 Posted November 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 ok, my call was 11/15. this did not take into account the Superstorm Sandy delays. My dealer was without power for a week, and the car was awaiting shipment the week of 10/25. anyway today i got this update: In Transit - Received - Obob561 (Csx Transportation ) Ramp 5M, New Boston, MI Nov-09-2012, 22:29 ET. now is that my railcar number? when i try to track on CSX it tells me that number has no status report? thanks. 3 days til my guess deadline. I do have a sneak peek though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave 316 Posted November 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 in summary ordered sept 17th, vin 10 days later, built oct 23rd, released oct 25, shipping yard oct 31, on train nov 13, eta now nov 18th. my guess was the 15th, so exactly 2 months is pretty sweet compared to most. on oct 31 status was shipping delay-weather. so without superstorm sandy, i may have had it. instead my beach house got slammed. we are very lucky to have something left to fix. 1000 feet away from us homes we destroyed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Smith Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Great thread, I ordered my 2013 GT500, GB with black stripes (complete package without the glass roof) at the end of May along with a School Bus Yellow Boss 302. I was told by my dealer in Portland that my Shelby was his allocation 2 vehicle which had a potential build date in August and the Boss was a December build date. I have had the Boss build date just confirmed as early December but still no advise from my dealers Ford Rep yet on the Shelby. Why so long, hugely frustrating. Strangely ZR 1's are to starting look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figure about a week from once it gets offloaded into the yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctorjay Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 My build date was Oct. 25th too. Train trip to Mesquite, Texas completed last Monday the 5th. Now 9 days later and it still hasn't made it the last 200 miles by truck to Abilene. Hard to belive it takes longer to catch a train from Michigan to Texas than to get a truck going West from Mesquite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even HARDER to believe it's cheaper to ship a car from the U.S. to Europe than overland from Detroit to Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
