Excellent you escaped the dreaded camera delays. If recall you still had some timing leeway on your E70, so it does sound like good timing in the end, and sticking to your guns you finally you wanted. Good stuff

Mine finished at South Carolina and was waiting to ship for 5 days. It then shipped up to Baltimore PVC and is awaiting shipping here to chicago. The travel time is only 2 days, but the transfer to Baltimore took some extra time. I don't know why it went up there. Total travel time after production is turning out to be close to 2 weeks.

Oy, how frustrating with those delays when you're so close! I really hope I don't have these same delays, but am in the same area so who knows.

From what I understand, it could be anything they deemed "not perfect". Either someone was doing a final check and found something, or it could be something happened (door ding, etc). People on here have said it happens more often than you think and it is really nothing to worry about. They need a little more time with your vehicle to make sure it is perfect.

turns out 'body shop' means it is getting painted right now.

Mine's been "at the port awaiting a shipping vessel" for the past week. I could have done PCD and been back by now. Problems with being on the west coast.

All the new F15s will go through Body Shop->Paint Shop->Assembly. No indication of a problem.

That site has videos so you can see what exactly they're doing.

Here is my updated timeline thus far, hopefully this is helpful to others re: what to expect regarding timing.

Entered "body shop:" 11/20/2013

Entered "assembly:" 11/22/2013
Estimated completion date: 11/22/2013.

I live in the Chicago area, so the vehicle will be freighted.

My big question is: can I get this thing in-hand before Thanksgiving?!?
