Build to Order Mustang, Time to Wait...

Anyone care to chime in on how long it took them to take delivery for a build to order Mustang.
Here's my story:

Receipt Date: 6/29/2007
Serialize Date: 8/30/2007
Segment Date: 8/30/2007
Sequence Date: 9/6/2007
Blend Date: 9/10/2007
Produced Date: 9/18/2007
Gate Release Date: 9/18/2007
Ship Date: 9/20/2007
Arrival Date:
Sold Date:

Dealer is clueless as to when it will arrive, from the info I got from blueoval forums, it's been in NJ (Where I live) for well over a week now some Ramp.
Very Frustrating as the weather has been unseasonably warm and I'd like to get some top down drivin' before it gets crappy out.

My ride...eventually

I am only up to the Blend Date, and so far ALL Mustangs seem to be built 8 days after blend. Shipping dates however tend to vary A LOT. Guess how far you live, the priority, the weather (Flooding), etc, etc

Yeah, my car was sitting in the same state about 40 miles from me for a good week before they shipped it. I think once it gets near your location, they sit at your local shipping service's place until they feel like sending a truck out to deliver it.

Call your dealer. They are able to track the rail as often as they want. If they say they cant, their lying. I was receiving updates from my dealership about 3-4 times a day.

Finally Arrived!
Picked it up Thursday Night with the following problems....
Drivers side- side scoop loose, you can press it in and out and here the tape unsticking. (Ordering me a new one)
It was also missing 1 screw that holds in the front fascia. (fixed before I left) The driver door makes a clank when closing it.
And now I've noticed that the rear wing has the same problem as the above mentioned side scoop!

But ****, this is one sweet ride, wven with the problems, and the weather has been spectacular here on the East Cost for top down crusin'

Attempting to post the first pics here.

They're there - very dark but there. I had thought before I got the car that I still wanted a chrome GT on there somewhere but I'm not sure for now.
