Jack stands

[Blueblood]

Just probing out here to see what kind of timeline others have had to wait to get their parts to complete their cars. My kit was actually a canceled kit from someone else as it matched my opinion list. I received my kit in October and as of now still am waiting for items for the major systems to get the car as a roller, such as lower front control arms, lower rear control arms for the three link and the power steering rack. I have not let it slow me down too much as I have the body bolted to the chassis and am working on the doors and got the nose installed and working ( thanks to Paul and this forum for the advice). The jack stand title is in reference to my fear of having a running and painted car still sitting on jack stands. Lol

As we used to say back in my consulting days, "It depends." (Always a safe answer. :D) Of course you're following the supply chain challenges that Factory Five has had. Like just about everyone else. For parts made in house, they have some control so hopefully those will arrive in a reasonable time. For outside vendor parts, the times are all over the map. For my truck build, received just over a year ago, I was over six months getting everything. The internal stuff I had in a few months. The external stuff trickled in mostly more slowly. I didn't have spindles for many months. I also had a couple vendor items that didn't have a solution so Factory Five offered alternatives. I don't have any more recent experience. But from what I've seen and heard, current experiences are somewhat similar. For each of my builds I was always able to get an occasional update of when to expect the individual POL items. I don't know if they're able to support that right now. But doesn't hurt to ask. It's a reasonable expectation IMO.

I had heard that six months was the norm to get the completed kit. Buy that was probably before the supply chain debacle. So I guess (it depends) is about as close as it gets. Not as comforting as I had hoped hehe
