Way to go Mike, glad it finally got there. Beautiful car, and enjoy that basketball game.
Hey Bobby, I've been waiting for you to weigh in. I never was able to track it through the trucking company, but as I said above I tracked it down through the rail yard today, the very day it was delivered to the dealer.

Thanks for your help, and the dancing banannas !!

I'm proud to join the ranks of you, Jack and the others with WB. Awesome color, and car.

Now, if we can just win the playoff game tomorrow night....

And a very special thanks to Karpro (Paul), whose input and assistance has been invaluable to so many of us on this forum.

This one's for you, Paul.

I couldn't pass up the moment to send you my congrats Mike. Would you agree it is so cool to have people from all over this country happy when your car arrives? I found it amazing when my car arrived how many folks on here seemed so happy for me. I think what it is is we all have a common thread, we love this new Mustang and we all go through the similar emotions of waiting then arrival. I am truly glad you got your car. WB is such a beautiful color, very similar to the britany blue of 67 and 68. I have seen the Brittany Blue only in pictures but it looks so close to Windveil Blue. Enjoy that car, I have since Dec 16th and it has been a joy ever since. I don't get to drive it everyday, but every chance I get. Take care and here is a few more

On the Bullitts and spolier delete from me, too! Those exhaust tips look sharp also. If I may ask, what did they cost for the parts? I'm guessing labor would be the "one-hour minimum" which here is CA means about $100. Enjoy your ride!

Well, I slept until about 4:00 a.m., then woke up with the car on my mind and couldn't get back to sleep.

Bobby, you are absolutely correct. The technology on this site is amazing, but it is the people that make it so cool. It is amazing how excited people from all over get when a member's car arrives.

Great people here; thanks again to all.

Don't mind at all; exchanging helpful info is what this site is all about.

Pony center caps $53.50 for the set of 4

Chrome plated stainless steel exhaust tips $81.80 for the pair

Electrochrome mirror with compass and outside thermometer $224.55

All through the dealer parts dept at my salesman's discounted prices.

$60 to install the mirror today; center caps and exhaust tips installed gratis (compliments of my salesman).

Other than being a little slow with information, they have been first rate. The best one in this area. My salesman is a really likeable guy, too. No complaints.

Congrats! Enjoy the new ride. I'm still waiting to hear I've got a build date, I would think it should be anytime now. I appreciate people posting the progress of the orders they have placed, most I've noticed have been 10 to 12 weeks from order to delivery. Your's would have been right in there if it hadn't been returned to the factory.

Don't worry about the rain, take delivery anyway....you need to test out the traction control system sometime.....right

Glad I can help everyone out. I guess my next good piece of advice would be to stop typing and start driving!!! Congrats and have some fun.

Tony--there you are, I was hoping you'd check in. Thanks a bunch (pun intended).

I'm not so concerned about rain as hail and damaging winds. I hope they tone down the forecast a bit.

Pics of 65 & 05 together to come, as soon as I can arrange them; hopefully this weekend.
