I was really hoping they were going to move up convertible production but I haven't heard anything at all would be nice.

with the way the rollout has gone I don't think anything will be pushed ahead

My HTC was at status 3000 with a TPW of 04.13 before the TPW's were removed, I plan on checking in mid March to determine if my TPW has been reinstated.

I heard the 4/6 date but my dealer recently told me that they will not start converts "until the third quarter". So if this is correct that would be July.

Your dealer could not be more incorrect. I have contact at Corvette concierge that i speak to regularly, and she has always given me correct info. As of this past Monday, convertibles are still scheduled to begin production April 6.
