Looks like they may be arriving on the same boat? I was told mine was delayed due to the glove box, either way March sounds good to me, should start to see some better weather then as well!

Yes, I think [MENTION=18440]stiggy[/MENTION] is in the same situation, me and him both were told 'November 11th' as build dates, then got kicked back, we've literally got >THE SAME< kinda drama, so might be 3 stangs on the same boat! Except mine will then be heading up to Birmingham.

I was told it could be any manner of things for the delay, however a lot of forum members within the November batch said it was a glove box airbag or something :crazy:.

Regardless, post Novemeber they began building again, so obviously got the items they needed back in.

3 of us all tracking the boat will be fun, one updates, next will be a 'ditto' & 'Double Ditto' :lol:

Flat Rock back to work early

So today I've gone from dealer 'info' that my car would be built in March (ish) 2016 maybe, to a super quick response from Stacey on the new email address telling me my VIN and that my car is already built and at gate release stage. All of a sudden from no concrete info I have an Etis print and a window sticker and a build date of 29th December 2015.

I wasn't sure about the build date but checking the Flat Rock Facebook pages it looks like Ford fronted up with a load of overtime and the plant reopened early. Sounds like things are moving. :ford:

Wow that's good news. 3 months early is great!

Good news indeed slow hand, I sent an e mail yesterday afternoon, no reply as yet. I have a VIN but when I put it in Etis, all I get is location Flatrock, with little else.

Hopefully I'll hear soon from the help desk/customer support address

Did you see your namesake on Overhaulin' last night? Worth a watch; they built a 'new' '67 fastback with a Coyote engine.

I had emails back today confirming my car is at the committed stage and was given the order number & dealer code. As I did not know what that meant, I emailed Stacey back & she said that this means that I could change spec if I wanted. Next stage is segmented & looking at late Jan/ Feb build. I did also ask her to confirm the spec they had for me to make sure it was correct- it was all correct fortunately but thought it was worth checking. Looks like my car is being built to the timescale given by my dealer when ordered ( perhaps a little earlier than expected). Good quick turn around on emails from Stacey today Well Done Ford! I will now resist the temptation to check again for an update until early February - you never know, my dealer may even contact me by then!

Ex GT in TY. Now GT Shadow in RR
I have emailed Stacey again to confirm if I can change my spec and add the black roof option as what you have been told and I have been told by my dealer as polar opposites. Car is committed but apparently I cannot change. That said I wouldn't put it past the dealer to not try and just tell me I can't... Will see what she says. If I can't get it done at the factory I'll have it done with a wrap post delivery.

Discovery. It's the latest series of Overhaulin. I think they are being repeated on Wednesday nights but it take a couple of weeks to catch up.
