It makes sense that there is no schedule yet because of the panel issues.

Some panels come as a defect and has nothing to do witht the alignment. Those panels need to be fabricated well first. Can take even a longer time.

This is peak pessimism, they’ll be pumping them out by the 1000s in no time.

shout out to FRAP!

Another week with no VIN, build week, or even an email saying "sorry". Its all good as long as this is the best built Mustang the world has ever seen. FRAP employees, we are all looking forward to seeing your craftsmanship roll off the assembly line. For the rest of us....the wait goes on....

What does Job 1 represent?

What does Job 1 represent?

Initial production run of customer cars for the model year. Usually 1/2 thru the model year they make can make adjustments/changes and start job 2. Whenever you see something that says “late availability” that’s often something planned for job 2.

Feel bait and switched. If I knew I was going to wait I would have ordered a c8 but I thought I would be at least having a date soon

Took me 8 months to get my C8 after initial deposit

Was there an order cutoff date to be part of job 1? What can we realistically expect for timeline?

Ford isn't the only one with production/supply/delay issues. My Hellcat order was bounced around 3 times and took nearly 1 year to come in.

Think youd be waiting longer for a C8 though

Hope the union is still getting the workers paid while they wait on FORD to get things right.

Most likely, they had to file for unemployment (if they so choose), as it's considered a furlough.

At least that's what happens during regularly scheduled shut downs every Summer for retooling.

Even for salaried workers, at GM for example, they have to use their vacation time for the Summer shut down.

This is a total cluster.... Before I got the call to order my C8, there were like 3 shutdowns, including the tornado with numerous constraints on parts and options.. But well worth the wait, so I'm taking this with a grain of salt, ordered my mustang on 3/27, first one at the dealership. Still no build date or vin... oh well..
