How it's made

[FStevenJ]

Was wondering if someone could tell me how the 350's are made. I saw a video on how the engine is made. Is the rest of the car built on the same line as all other mustangs? Is it pulled off the line at some point and put on another line? Thanks

The 350's are assembled on the same line.

Hand built by angels and cherubs. Each bold is blessed by his holiness, the Pope.

I watched A Faster Horse last night too, great documentary showcasing the history and the amount of work put into the 2015 S550 Mustang

Anyone know how many days it takes for the mustang to be built
From start to rolling off the assembly line? 1 day? 5 days?

 

[HISSMAN]

I'd say a few hours at most. Just a guess though.

Was told by Mike G at Ford Performance about 3 days

I just figured that it would move a lot quicker than that.

No problem man. It's a great documentary. I will probably watch it several times with my son

My car was missing a few dates that should of shown where it was. It showed in production for like a week.
Mike said "no way it takes more then 3 days to build a car".

So 3 days might not be the average.....

From start to finish, the Mustang goes down a 6 mile line. So it can't be a matter of hours but rather days.

This is based on a S197

Assembly starts at 8:50 p.m. with a freshly painted, empty metal shell hanging in an overhead cradle on the tilt line at a 45-degree angle. Twenty minutes later, the car moves onto stands on line two, a conveyer belt, and is ready for assembly.
By 10:00, the instrument panel is ready to be put together on the preinstallation line.
The engine is completed on the engine-production line between 10:20 and 11:00.
At 11.45, the instrument-panel assembly is united with the body…
… and at 12:20, the engine is placed into the engine bay.
Wheels are added to the car at 1:50 in the morning…
… and at 2:00 robots install the front and rear glass.
The interior nears completion as the seats are installed by 2:10.
Doors, initially removed for interior work, are reattached at 2:35.
The car nears the end of the final trim assembly line by 3:00, where the remaining trim items are installed.
Final inspection of the completed Mustang takes only five minutes between 3:10 and 3:15.
The fully assembled vehicle comes to the end of the line at 3:20, when the wipers, lights, and horn are checked. The brand-new Mustang is then fired up for the first time and driven away to a holding lot.

OK, this is a few years old now, but the same process is used for S550 as was used for S197
