Good news! My Mustang has finally arrived at the dealer. I pick it up tomorrow afternoon. That means from the day I ordered to the day I pick it up is exactly 12 weeks. When I ordered it I was told by one person it would be 8-10 and another said 6-8. Remember, good things come to those who wait. I cant wait to get my 'stang on the road!

Deysha, since I've already contacted you and heard back, am I "on the list" of vehicles you're keeping tabs on? If so I'll just wait patiently for word on mine 
Last status mine had an ETA of 11 days from now.
Sorry to pester you, but I have my current DD for sale, so info on an ETA is very helpful in planning how aggressive to get selling my current car.
THANKS!

From the article below.
Much of the retooling will be done during a three-week shutdown in November.
As it gears up for the future, Ford to add 1,200 workers in Flat Rock

Question, my mustang comes with saddle leather and I always heard there's an extra delay on that awesome color option, is it still the case even though the plant just restocked on everything as of yesterday?

Hello all new member here, long time lurker first time poster. Just ordered a new GT premium, grabber blue, recaros, glass roof, and brembo track pack. Was told delivery will be about 12 very long weeks. Hopefully it will come sooner or at least before the snow flies here ... Already started to order some bolt ons. Never expected this bug to bite so soon though, lol
Anyone know how soon after the order is placed that status can be tracked?

One last update for this thread. My new girl with stripes.
Good luck to all those waiting on your Mustang. It's worth the wait!
Hope you all enjoy yours as much as I do mine.

Hi all. New to the forum.
I ordered my car on August 2, 2012. Didn't know what I was in for. I was willing to wait but didn't realize how tough this wait was going to be. I had no idea this is what it takes to get a Mustang the way you want it.
Sent you a pm Deysha with the wrong info first, then corrected that info today.
I hear the plant was closed for two weeks. I read in the paper that the Mazda 6 will now be built exclusively in Japan and that the factory is being retooled to build the 2013 Fusion. Does that mean all orders are being pushed back two weeks? After finding this thread I was getting hopeful of an 8 week delivery after being told 6-8 weeks by the salesman.
I also read the paint process is being changed. Will the newest Mustangs be given, if I have this right, the three step wet dip process? Maybe someone here can clarify.

"Ford will also upgrade the plant's paint shop to a paint process that allows paint to be applied while a previous layer is still wet and with less manual intervention."
