Congratulations. Definitely tell them to ship your car WEST-bound on a boat to avoid the straight.

It looks great.
Color is nothing unique, its Ford's Grabber Blue Metallic. Wish they would have rolled the chassis out in the daylight to snap the photos so you can get a better idea of how bright the blue is. I chose an easy standard color in the advent any repair would ever need to be done in the future, as you never know, so the color could easily be matched, and I have never seen one done in in this color. Black stripes were also a standard Ford color Agate Black Metallic.

When does it ship and to what port?
I have no idea at the moment. I had to inquire the status on the car this week as the dealer has not been keeping me informed and suddenly these final photos were sent. Now one would think that after sending photos of a complete chassis, what my immediate next question would be and they should have had that in the email. So, I fired right back about shipping, no answer yet.
You basically did the same scheme I want to do, but I plan on Azure Blue and Matte Black. Same color my old 04 Mach 1 was.

Typically from completion to shipment is a month or more depending upon the time of year and now with the strait closed the availability of ships. Mine took about 2 months before it left Port Elizabeth.
These are the wheels I had Forgeline make. I wanted to stay with the original BRM style 15 inch rim of the later '68 and '69 model, but after seeing the limited tire selection in modern tires for a 15 inch rim I opted for an 18 inch rim as it gives me a wider selection of modern spec tires. This was as close to the original BRM style rim they had in their catalog.

Nice
Got word this week the car is coming in somewhere in Florida. It has not shipped yet. From what I am told 2 cars fir a shipping container and they are waiting on a second car to be completed to fill the shipping container. My engine and transaxle have already been shipped to Olthoff. I dropped my wheels and tires off as they are going to ship those down to Florida to put on the car when it gets into port and have it shipped direct to Olthoff for drivetrain installation.
