Congrats to all of you going through the process!!! I went through it all last April.............will never forget any of it! 
I would never have thought that at 58 I could feel like a kid at Christmas again.........but buying the Vette and doing the NCM delivery, etc. did the trick! 
What a great car............enjoy it all

Cool!
My VIN ends in 443. With what you say, I guess they'll finish 165 on Tue, 305 on Wed and just finish two cars behind mine by the end of my tour on Thur. With no slow downs I ought to get to start my car up as well. Cross fingers!
And Robin, I think Bub is saying that your car didn't quite get done today. It'll be the 18th car off the line tomorrow.

Personal tour this morning with Kevin was just awesome. Got to start and drive the car off the line. Came off at 10:20 am today. Toured until 11:30. Great time, & very highly recommended. More soon (pics).
Note sequence number to vin conversion is complicated by caddys included inthe sequence count now.
PS `Kevin does not like cigars. Wherever this started, it's BS.

Is Kevin still the guy to contact about build dates?
I sent an E-Mail 2-days ago and no response yet.
I read in another thread that he was moved back to the production line and wasn’t doing tour assistance any more.

tour this morning

Mine's vin 10102, and I'm getting the "tour" with Kevin tomorrow at 8 am (he has meeting in the morning from 7 to 8).
Should be able to start it and drive it off the line.
Met another guy here with a black Z06 (non-forum member) and he's 10079, so he's a few (23 to be exact) in front of me. Said it was 4 cars down from body marriage with body marriage complete at the end of the day today.
For reference the sequence number on the 10025 car was 0630, so mine should be like 0707.
I got all balled up trying to match VIN to sequence #'s while on the public tour, so my suggest would be to know your seq # as well as your vin if trying to find on public tour and could only get this all straight once I got the data point from the end car. The seq # is the number visible from the tour line (seq is bold large print whereas it's too small print to read VIN off the build sheets). Shouldn't be an issue tomorrow with Kevin.
I too will have a hard time sleeping tonight; however, the O'Charley's steak should help that.
That's it for now. My FedEx bill at 20 cents a minute is over $2....

If the xport company's on their game, and, they respond in the same (or similar) timeframe they did delivering mine to the dealership?
You should see your new car in about 2 weeks, +/- a day or 2.

Enjoy the ride, and be careful out there.
