Well, I was told by my dealer my build week was 1-5-15, low & behold, I look this morning and she shows "In production"! Excitement now mounting again!

I also received a EDD today. I ordered on 6-5, was told I have a build week of 1-5-15 and my countdown to a fairly remote part of northern Cal is at 47 days. We will see. just nice to see ANY change on my COTUS page. The excitement has returned.

Your welcome. I am a little curious at this point as to what your production timeline was. Would you mind sharing the last seven digits of your VIN?

You could, but what I have found during my dealership days and being able to get some of my customers "buybacks", they found something on the new vehicle that bothered them more than the first one. Some things on a new vehicle that bother you now, as your both getting used to one another, you...

Yes, that helps. I just hate to tell you, most dealers and the factory are going to tell you "Production variances". The door being perfect at the bottom and slightly off at the top is a slight "twist" of the sheet metal alignment, and there is not much you can do about that if the front of the...

I see the misalignment at the top, can you back that photo out a bit so I can see an overall fit of the rear of that door?

Take your time with that adjustment. Don't loosen both torx bolts completely! Just loosen them slightly, and bump the striker in slightly, little adjustments at a time, in and out, not up and down, until you find the sweet spot of the adjustment. Cars these days have VERY little adjustment...

Man! That's pretty bad! Post some pic's of that misalignment, it almost sounds like it came out of a GM assembly plant!:lol:

Generally when you have an alignment problem at the rear of the door, your adjustment is going to be at the Striker on the body, at the "B" post. That's a pretty straight forward adjustment. If the problem is at the front most part of the door, that is a hinge adjustment and is a little more...

Your right at the birthplace of my '65. She was built in the Milpitas plant in April of 1965. If Ford hasn't changed the northern California new vehicle hub for distribution of vehicles since I was a Ford dealer employee in 2005, my 2015 will be heading north to me from that same distribution...

"50THPNY" here, waiting on the plate & waiting on the car...

Wow! That car Pops! Beautiful! Congrats. :clap2:

Thank's for the info! I'll check it out. And yes, I'm a bit narrower in the wheel wells than a '67, no doubt. I have been trying to get a base line. It's almost like the 15'' is too little wheel and the 17'' is just too much wheel on my '65. And to think they used to mount 13's'' on these...

Congrats on your '15, and off the subject just a bit, what size is your wheel & tire package on the '67 ? They look really good and that is the wheel opening look I'm shooting for on my '65.

Actually, Ford has been using that felt like material in the rear wheel wells of sedans for many years now. I have a 2001 Focus with that same material & I see no problems after 150K miles on this car, it seems to wear very well and the noise dampening and rock throwing tings from the tires is...

My dealer ordered me a second car early on when there was no VIN activity on my original order. I received a VIN on my original order last week, so I called him to have him cancel the second order, (because I don't want a twin running around my area), and I emphasized, PLEASE don't accidentally...

Easy there cowboy! It seems that everyone online is a critic. I don't mind you criticizing my interpretation, my point wasn't so much as to what the factory put in his vehicle, or what Fords "rubber stamp" owners manuals state year after year, but to help him to find a solution for his issue...

Sounds like a shudder from a limited slip differential. I don't know why, but the manufacturers no longer require friction modifier in the differential, it's now formulated in the lubricant. Have you dealer take a drive with you. It may be a break-in issue or maybe they can add some modifier to...

The COTUS gods have finally smiled on me. I got a VIN today!! Ordered 6-5, GT premium, P.P., 50th appearance package. :headbang:

I'm in the same boat, ordered mine on 6-5, retail, priority 10. Dealer told me he had allocations for 6 Mustangs. Dealer ordered me another unit stock on 9-11 to see if it would be built quicker. He has since received one of two that he had ordered for his inventory that were both ordered...
