For those who bought the "Build Book" (the bound book with assembly line pictures of your car) this year, how long did it take, of late, to get it after your car was built?

Car was built on March 8th. Contacted Shane on May 18th for an update and was told to expect two to four more weeks. Hope to see it by the 4th of July!

My wife's was built March 26th so I guess I'm looking at late July or early August.

The build book is only if you ordered it with car right?

bummer. My NCM pickup will be in late July so no book for me. It is very pricey, but I am only going to get a Vette built one time and it would be awesome to see my assembly pix.

You darn Z06'ers-in-waiting.....I blame you! I think we all suspect everybody was kicked out of the plant as of May 1, including the photographer, so they could intermingle some pilot Z06's.....

Vette built on 12 January - Museum Delivery on 25 January (Book contains picture from Museum Delivery). Book received on 19 May. Pictures are larger than in my 2015 C7 build book. Notified by Museum of date shipped. Great keepsake - NCM is the best!

OK, so part of the time delay is that, if you have museum delivery, they include pictures of that also. So I guess that means an extra month for me since it was a month between the build and NCM delivery. (I'm assuming one was able to order the book without museum delivery?)

Book arrived July 3rd! Now if the plant will reopen for tours sometime in the next year, maybe I can see an assembly in real time.
