How they did it back then
« on: March 02, 2015, 01:06:07 PM »
http://www.restorodstogo.com/search/label/Chevrolet Thought maybe some of you fellows would like to see how they assembled some of these cars back in the day  I thought it sort of interesting seeing that i toured the General Motors truck plant at least 5 days a week back in the 90's and it was 75% more robotic and more automatic than in those days  vette59jdwl

Said it wouldn't let me open the video because of copyright laws in the U.S., but the site, itself, is great!
Tighten it up til it strips, then back it off a quarter turn

That was a pretty good video, Moose, but not too big on the dialog ;D
That video is a far cry from the"6.2 liter LT4 made by robots" video that Ed posted.
