Thanks again Murray for your "service" to the Forum with these production updates; much appreciated I'm sure by many more than just me!
Hope they get on to 2 shifts,because GM will have alot of C8 orders at Status 3000 or higher which will not get built by November. Mine is scheduled for Early October build but will not happen if only one shift.Congratsmto and your baby being born tomorrow.
I just pray there are no reasons to put it on a QC hold. Not sure when the codes get updated, but I'll check in with the museum tomorrow as my dealer is on vacation until Tuesday,
Congrats Murray! It's better than Christmas when you get it.It's my day! car should roll off the line before 1pm EDT
6373 > 6488 = 116 Bang on 11.6 cars per hour

I understand that ordering the Photo Album which documents the car's production will open a door at the Corvette Museum such that the Museum will provide more accurate info about the car's place in the assembly line. Any info about whether it could also advance the car's place in that line or better guarantee the car will actually be made? Has anyone purchased one and if so, is it worth the US$700?
I wish Canadians could get Museum delivery which everyone seems to rave about, although finding the time to drive the car back would be a challenge.

It's not looking good with running a single shift!
17 weeks to go until end of November at an average of 570 cars/week = 9,690.
This is roughly 3,777 short for 2020 (13467-9690).

Ya, my last concern is whether it passed the 800 final tests and won't be held for QC. lol, but at least it will be built.
Latest rumour is they will start the second shift the 2nd or 3rd week of August.
Another rumour is a Saturday run this weekend and/or next. Plus sprinkle a few in here and there.
I hope both those rumours are accurate.
If both are true, it could help out a guy like me. I'll check with the higher ups on Monday to see if my TPW has moved around again.

Well they need to find the ability to make another 223 cars per week effective next week in order to make the deadline...that's more than 1 Saturday shift!
Fingers crossed on a 2nd shift...if and when that comes.
Anyone know if the current TPW weeks are based off a single shift or with the anticipated second shift baked in?
Guys in the other forum are posting that Shane at the museum is saying TPWs are gone and he can't see them right now because they are shuffling them around again.
The one thing that seems clear is the further out they are the more fluid they are. It's easier for them to move them up then move them back for parts ordering etc.
