2020 GT500's Scheduled For Production - Part 2

[Dcgtconv]

For our Brothers and Sisters in Canada.

2020 GT500 Canadian Production Numbers

118 - Base
21 - Base with Painted Stripes
43 - CFTP without Painted Stripes
30 - CFTP with Painted Stripes
212 - Total

Thanks Earl for all the info you provide to all of us here, much appreciated. I am really surprised at how low this number is for Canadian cars. The CFTP numbers are higher in proportion to base cars than I would have thought too, very interesting Numbers, thanks again.

@Houston Kid Big Dawg has his - I helped him pick it up. He then drove it back from IN dealer to his home 9 hours away. Car was great - 1 error - they had a normal mustang door insert vs. Ford Perfromance. Wishing you a great car and a quick safe arrival. his was shipped via truck - 4 hours from FRAP to Dealer.

Good to know and thanks. Glad he has his.
How the heck does that even happen though????

Not really an update but some information from the dealership I suppose.
“The logistics team at the plant has prioritized your vehicle. Sounds like the logistics team is made up of ex politicians. I'll keep you posted.”

What exactly is the "body shop"? Is that where they mate the body with the chassis, and how many and what are the different stops along the way to a finished vehicle?
Never the less, I like the sounds of it.

Steve: I don't recall if the text below was Earl's or not but pretty sure it was. I think it'll answer your questions.

===========
So, lots of questions on the process...let me try and summarize.

Body Shop - Bodies are physically assembled. This is the part you see on TV with the welding robots connecting all the pieces to make the body

Paint Shop - Pretty self explanatory...however, the tracking system you all use doesn't break this
out...it is part of body shop.

Trim Line - This is where the car is actually assembled.

From there the car goes through a series of dynamic and static tests, a water test, and a final
inspection.

Then it goes to internal stripe area, or the mod shop for the carbon bits if it is a Track Pack.
Other cars head out for shipping.

Penske cars go once the car has finished all testing, and mods are done.



Body Shop
Trim Line
Produced - Base Models without stripes go from here to Released awaiting shipment.
Mod Shop - Vinyl stripes and CFTP wheels , wing and maybe rear seat delete kit.

It is where the body is assembled and painted. Then it goes to the trim line and produced.

This a car coming out of paint and headed to the trim line.
