Window sticker timeline?

Last Thursday I had the pleasure of getting my VIN and then combing through all the code on the source page, I see my build week is scheduled for the last week of this month.
At what point should I see the option to download the window sticker? I've got a plotter here at work and I plan on making a poster of it

When you get to the week before the build week, the status in COTUS should have a completion date on the "IN PROCESSING" stage then flips over to "IN PRODUCTION". By that week, you should also be getting the actual build day too. You can check for that if you look at the web page source code.

I saw my window sticker show up about 6 days before the build date. Good luck!

Good luck!

Heads up for people that have a VIN assigned but no build date showing on the tracking site.

Go to cotus.com and enter your order number and dealer id. Right click on your tracking page when it loads and select "view source code" and then search for the word "builddate". People have reported finding their build date hidden in there before it shows up on the tracking page. I hear this won't work if you track by VIN on the tracking page, it has to be with the order and dealer numbers.

Correct, but scroll down to the red text and about one page into that. I've also noticed it's easier to do using Explorer vs. Firefox. Just today I noticed a slight update.
Build week is the same, but now I found scheduled day of the 27th. I hope the old rumors of never buy a car built on a Monday or a Friday are not true!
Cool thing is, my '66 GT was built on 10-25

All are given a Monday at first. As it gets closer, it will move to your actual date.

Check again, though... mine was 10/27, but just moved to 10/20.
