Thanks Embalmer, for the info!

So far this is what I have heard from the 800#:

Receipt: 11/11
Serialized: 11/16
"Scheduled to be built the week of 12/4" <-- is this the week I should expect my Mustang to be "Produced"?

You'll be built that week sometime. You can call the middle of that week and most likely you will hear "You are locked in for production on..." Then they will give you an ETA to the dealer. See if you can get your VIN from the dealer and post it in the Blueovalnews.com employee forums that week. Someone there will give you the details like I posted earlier.

Stangmann-

I have heard the 18" polished wheels are in short supply. See if you can get an order number and dealer number and then you can call and check the status yourself.

I ordered back in august and still no update........the dealer says because i ordered the 18in rims it is taking this long.
there reason because they told me there is a supply problem with the 18in rims. can anyone confirm this or is this just some dealer bs story?
I ordered my car 9-1-06, and received it 11-6-06. The third week of Sept, the dealer told me that the car was being built the following week. With this timeframe I should have received the car in mid-October. So during the second week of October I gave the guy a call and he told me that the car was not built because there was some sort of shortage with the parts. The car didn't get built until 7th week of putting in the order. At the time I thought the guy was just BS'ing me, but I guess he wasn't.

Is there an easy way to check the status of your build. I put in my order for a 07' last week. Is there a number to call Ford or do I just call my dealer? Do you need some kind of order # or customer order #?

Kzinti is a Ford employee who works at the AAI (Flat Rock) assembly plant. Until recently, he was able to check the status of our orders and even print out a .pdf copy of our sticker (even before the car was built!). Ford did not like him doing that and reprimanded him.

Thanks Embalmer, that was very helpful info!

I've tired calling the 800# for the past day (late Saturday evening/Sunday morning), gave the dealer/year/model/order # .. and this time instead of an update, it just said "we are unable to process an automated auto status request" and then tried to transfer me to an analyst ... is the system down?? Or did I **** off the robot lady from calling too many times?!
