Not to worry. Ford has a plan for this.
Just leave it sitting in the baking sun all summer long and will dry right out.
Good as new.
with the way my luck has been going with this build, I fully expect something along those lines.

has anyone heard anything about the flooding in Dearborne? Think it affected any trucks sitting? I am almost hopeful mine is flooded which would force Ford to rebuild.
This is all I found. There is also an article that the Ford plant in the area producing Bronco's had a leak in the roof that stopped 1st shift production but the expected to be back up 2nd shift (Saturday)

Someone else who lives in the area said that the place they are storing these trucks is high and not flooding that most flooding is in basements, highways, and streets with city controlled drainage.

Ford production impacted
The Dearborn Truck Plant, which builds the bestselling Ford F-150, was down on Saturday as a result of extreme flooding in the area, Kelli Felker, Ford global manufacturing and labor communications manager, told the Free Press. "They are still shipping but employees had trouble getting in due to the flooded area."

It looks like trucks are still being completed. I checked a March build week, and one guy indicated yesterday that his ETA had changed from 10/31 to 7/17. I feel like I'm dreaming when this truck finally arrives. lol.

I really wanted Antimatter, I was over ruled by the wife so we went with Agate. I'm okay with the decision.
I was looking at the antimatter too, it looks a little dull when not in the light, i went with agate too in the end after seeing it on the same trim on the road! i think thats the issue too, you normally see them on the road and get a good feel for available colors, but given they are so scarce, i have not had that luxury!

What will get completed first? Ford completing all of our April trucks or George RR Martin’s “The Winds of Winter”?

Speaking with my dealer today who has exactly 0 f150s on the lot, he told me they are expecting around 90 some trucks in july, not sure if those are special orders or inventory.

There were a lot of 2 tone XLT antimatter in feb/March around me. Great looking truck, like the colour changing personality. ? I do like the old school chrome and think that goes well with the Agate. Will be happy with it if it arrives before I place my order for 2022 GMC.?

Signed on the truck and took it home. Dealer acted like I was breaking their arm when I asked about revisiting my trade value after waiting over 3 months as it shot up in recent history. "We could actually charge you over MSRP, take away credits, blah blah". Got an extra 1000 off and picked up the additional 1000 trade assistance that wasn't around in March.
3rd new vehicle I've bought over $40,000 from them since 2015. It'll be the last. Lariat truck in Antimatter Blue has me giddy like a school girl. Really hope everyone else's trucks keep moving along

Dropped in at my Dealer yesterday to discuss current events regarding the chip shortage. He's got 10 150's from storage supposed to arrive today or tomorrow. Things are moving folks....
