Veddy Interesting. :inspect:

My car was estimated for November 13, and Ford Vehicle Tracking just added 6 days - changing it to November 19th. Coincidental?!? In think not!


A vehicle tracking system has no way of dealing with unknowns. My date was the 16th and I know my car along with others has not yet been released . As such , the updated today "3 days" isn't realistic. NOT a problem, just reality. I know that shipping from the FRAP to my dealer is an average of 10 days. Whenever it is shipped, I will have a solid projected delivery.

We are very ,VERY fortunate to have these up front SOP hoops as we will not have to wait until Spring for orders to be accepted and then get our cars mid 2020. I sure wish my extra time to wait could have been spent getting painted stripes. grin.

If you want the painted on stripes, just go and get them painted on, unless this is a collector car for you....

Hello Tom,
Yes, I am with you. I'm passed collector car effort and just like to enjoy cars and trucks. I am very willing to have done aftermarket. Having it done correctly with the Penske team would be awesome as Im going to admit that it would simply make me happy.

Whether chopping a top or adding Hilborn old school stacks, or doing a full custom roof line, I enjoy cars and the vinyl Mustang stripes are just OK for me. My wife says that I have an illness, I love car projects and making my GT500 my own is exciting.



Best Regards,
George

One more modified....1931 Roadster Pick Up,..stretched cab, shortened bed, new tranny with a 1934 engine ready to be sent off to enable adding an oil pump instead of using the original oil sling motor. More than 25 MPH and you need to pray to stop in a hurry.

I need the GT500 to modernize the garage.

Lol. Thanks for the photos (other than your new avatar). Here is a thought.... if you want penske to do it, have them do it. Have a look at their website, they do private work I believe.

I'll get rid of the awful avatar after Kent absorbs the unedited content. I have reached out to try to contact the right folks at Penske to see if they will consider the over the top as well as side stripes. . ??????

I haven't called FP recently, but my day is 12/2 ( unless pushed again), I should be expecting a window sticker in the next few days, correct? And that will be available from the shop.ford.com/vehicle tracking site, yes?
