2020 GT500's Scheduled For Production - Part 2

[Skwibbs]

Problem solved.

I still have a half bottle of Johnny Blue, a full bottle of Gold, and lots of Macallan 12, y'all are welcome tuit. :-)

Any Lagavulin 16?

Earl, I seem to recall cars were going to Penske in various stages of production. Some didn't have wings installed and still had factory roller wheels on. Do you suppose that the reason for the hold when cars return from penske is due to cars having to go to the mod shop upon return?

Just a thought

Any Lagavulin 16?

I do like isla whiskies. Lagavulan is especially nice.

Been trying to adjust the hood alignment with front bumper and can't get it to go down far enough, even after the rubber adjust is down all the way. Can the hood pin be adjusted also?

That made me chuckle, dude. :-) I loved that single malt but it's pricey. The first time I bought some, the wife actually thought she smelled smoke in the house. <grinning>

David: Good morning and, you're obviously more picky about fitment, <smiling> as I didn't notice a big difference.

I'm not a body guy so I don't know if the pins are adjustable but I'm gonna guess not.

Good morning Kent, I am very picky about fit, been detailing for a whole day. Love this car and it showed up clean thanks to you .

I’m friend in the know tells me the CFTP cars go to Penske for stripes first, then the MOD shop. They don’t want to remove the wing at Penske.

 

[kilobravo]

I wondered about that myself John, how WOULD they paint it without removing the wing? Now it makes sense, thanks to your friend.

Glad she made it home, clean, David...I didn't have a whole lot of time.

It always bothered me as well. I appreciated finding out the truth.

It’s also my understanding Flat Rock is building 350 cars per day right now. Of those, 60 are Shelby’s of some type (350, 500, or Heritage). Pre C19, they were building 900 cars per day. Interesting data.

Well there ya go. I wonder why Tim hasn't said anything about this over here at M6G?

Thanks Sam.

I guess I better get the lawn chair out.

Boy, that is SOME drop, John! At that rate, they almost certainly won't get to 5k in the '20 500 department.

That would make sense, but the cars being transported usually have the wing attached.

John, See if your friend knows anything about the shipping spacer issue.

Hey @Snoopy49, FYI
