Just want to thank Brad for arranging a tour of the Mustang plant while he was in town. Everything went off as scheduled. We had a group of about 12 avid Mustang enthusiasts. Sam our tour guide did anexcellent job of explaining all procedures and answering all our questions. If you ever get an opportunity to take this tour I would'nt pass it up.

Yeah, that was a great sight, seeing the car being built from freshly pressed pieces of metal to driving off the assembly line (which is where we were all able to see the dark IUP on a Redfire GT with 18" bullits). Great times!

Thanks again Brad. I had a great time.
Also, thanks for having the ***** to walk over to the redfire with the chrome bullits and dark IUP. I was afraid to be the first and I really wanted a close look at that one.

If a tour could be planned in the summer I would love to go. I finish my Balkans deployment in April and should be free for a tour of AAI during summer timeframe. Would have no trouble flying in from Germany, just need a room reservation somewhere close with an ice cold beer to savior. Cheers

It is very interesting to see the stang grow from start to finish.They look great even as a bare shell
I enjoyed the commraderie of all our fellow Mustang fans.

Brad we throughly enjoyed the tour and we thank you for your effort in arranging this meet. One question please reguarding the plenum cover , you say it differs from the prototype in that it covers the throttle body . Is this correct,so does it go right to the rubber air duct. Your comments on how it looks and does it have the original scripts and logos. Any pictures?

I had to stop at CDC on the way back to Grand Rapids. Bought a light bar and installed it Tuesday night. Wow, it looks great. I really makes it look completely different.

Brad,
If something is going on for the summer pls let me know by emailing or something. I only get to the check the forum ever so often and no set time as I do the mission here. While my GT Convertible will stay in Germany while I travel to the states I'll see if I can get my hands on a Mustang somehow to drive to your summer event. Cheers
Mike

Stupid newbie question. What's AAI stand for? I'm going to be ordering a Vert this spring and would love to take a tour to see them being built. My first new car was a '79 Mustang Turbo. I've had classic Corvette's over the years and now want to get back to my first love.....the Mustang. Thanks..this forum is the best.

You could google AAI and get:

American Association of Immunologists

Advanced Aesthetics Institute

Arab American Institute

Architectural Association of Ireland

Arizona Automotive Institute

Association of Advertisers in Ireland

Applied AI Systems, Inc.

American Antitrust Institute

American Alpine Institute

Australian Aid International

Or go to --> http://www.autofieldguide.com/articles/110407.html

BTW, not knowing what AAI stands for could get you: around here.

Good article, thanks. I now know my acronymns. The article also mentions Six Sigma Black Belts. Funny how I didn't know what AAI meant, but Six Sigma Black Belt makes total sense to me, especially since I am one. And it has nothing to do with martial arts, either.

Cool plant.....would love to do a tour in the future.

I would have paid bucks to tour the plant while my car was being built and drive it off and home.
