Build time, start to finish?

[tjnoffy]

Can anyone share their firsthand or secondhand experience with build times? Just received a 9/6 build date. Curious when the build should be completed, assuming it begins on time. OBX soft top, Sasquatch, tow, mod bumper, if any of that matters.

Delivery time is clearly another question. Any idea on delivery to Virginia, or anywhere in the mid-Atlantic region?

Mine started late on 7/19 and finished on 7/20.

From what I’ve read it’s between 24 and 48 hours from start to finish

same boat, 9/6. I think they build within a day or two and cant imagine once completed it would take longer than 1-2 weeks to deliver within the US. Anyone is welcome to correct me but that seems to be a reasonable expectation

Wow! That fast, eh? I was imagining at least a couple of weeks! Don't know why, but I was sure it was a multiple week evolution. Thanks!

Thanks! Had no idea it turned around that fast.

Building is fast. Going from Built to Shipped took a few days in my case, but for some people on Dirt Mountain, it's an ongoing experience.

Mine started 8/2, built email came 8/8 , shipped on 8/11
In transit to dealer as we speak ..

Yeah, Dirt Mountain buyers have it bad. My heart aches for them... truly. And they're having to wait so long so that Ford doesn't have to pay shipping to get the new tops to customers after delivery. Tough spot.

Well, hopefully this fellow Jay will be that fortunate!

Usually the process starts a week before blend date.

Unscheduled material hold
Unscheduled Clean
Scheduled to week
Scheduled to Day
Body Shop -this is where actual production starts physically, around a week before blend
Paint line
Trim line- Stuff added to body etc
Blend day final assembly

Thanks. So where does my "build date" of 9/6 fall in this list? Is my "build date" the "blend date" and all of the other things in your list should happen before 9/6?

So, can anyone answer this? @MustangRanch ??

Curious as well. I just heard to expect a window sticker about a week before your build date.
