Ford Plants to resume 4/14

[FR500S Racer]

You should go back and re- read post #35. I stand by what I said. His car has not been produced and it is still in production and in the Body Shop on the assembly line, which is inside a building.

Thanks "Snoopy49" for the insight I have a build that falls into not "released". Was "Produced" 3-17-2020 GT350R HE. Good news it's produced and safe. Amazing all the insight here. Brian

If it has not been released from the plant and waiting to get shipped, I am sorry to say that it is probably sitting on a lot with a lot of other cars out in the open. At least the weather is not in freezing range.

From what I understand, it looks like the plant is now completely shutdown and there is no one working on the produced cars in the Mod Center. The Michigan governor has mandated a state wide stay at home policy. This means the only Status Updates will be about cars that have shipped. Hopefully the railroads and trucking companies will be allowed to do what they do best.

Wow. I dont know enough from the article, but it sounds like it will not have anything to do with the line operation (ie, they wont take the line down for it) and on a plus side, they will put people back to work.

Always good to go back to work. Worked at a Paper Mill, ran 24 - 7, so I understand factories a small bit after 34 plus years. Cool as you can volunteer, great Union People for sure! Brian

Hard to imagine that key members of the FRAP volunteering to build respirators at one part of the plant and not affecting production in some fashion for the Mustang/Lincoln model cars going down the line.

Good News, folks are getting back to life and work and sounds like the factories have stepped up to the plate. https://media.ford.com/content/ford...gin-phased-production-operations-restart.html

Why no mention of GT500 production ?

Stang: Most seem to believe it was simply a failure to list all the vehicle types since Earl tells us, Ford has already acknowledged existing and new VINs for the 500.
