Ya don't get your hopes up on 8-10 weeks though I wish you the best on it, I was told 2-3 weeks 3 times. I placed my order on march 6 almost 16 weeks ago and still don't have it. Supposed to ship in the next week, we will see.

No, I figured 8-10wks was the absolute minimum wait time, not the average.

i waited about 4 months for mine, but that was back in 2008. Congrats on the purchase, you'll love it for sure.

wow these are some long wait times. Sounds like they could use more workers!

Hmm...I've been told the exact same thing. I think I ordered closer to mid March. You must be one of "3 assemblies ahead of mine" that I'm still waiting on.

If you are willing to pay a little extra the wait gets a lot shorter. But I'm pretty impatient and I made the trip to pick it up so I saved some money on shipping.

That's interesting. I was never given that option. I was sure that there had to be some orders that got put in ahead of mine for one reason or another. It's kind of irrelevant now anyways. The new setup broke a valve spring on the dyno last Friday. Head is trashed, and the rest of the motor is going to have to go back for repairs or replacement.

I went and picked mine up 2 weeks ago. Anybody who has been to the current shop knows it's not necessarily manpower that's the problem, it's space! The current shop is pretty much an oversized garage. I was surprised they get the workload they do through there! They are currently moving into a bigger shop though, so hopefully once they get completely settled it will cut back on the time.

The wait is more than worth it for what they charge for a badass rear. I would make the same choice 10/10 times.

I asked if there was any way to get the build done faster and they gave me the option. Sucks to hear about the motor though man, had that happen to a friend of mine. Makes for a shitty day

Ya if I would have known it would be almost 20 weeks before I got mine (assuming it shows up next week like I hope to god it does) I would have paid the extra. I think it's kinda crap that you can do that though. If I was the first to order mine and the 99 people behind me paid extra then I'd be the 100th built and it'd be 5 years before I got it.

Seems like a guy could order one every couple of weeks and sell his spot in line at a premium to someone that needs one in a hurry, lol!

I make custom stirrups so I know what its like to get overwhelmed with orders!

I believe they're in the new shop now, but if anybody saw the old shop I was surprised they get done as much as they do. They were building rearends, installing rearends, building cages, ect in what was pretty much alltogether like a 3 car garage.

You gotta love the will to work! That is what America was all about and a few of us still have that desire!
