She looks wonderful!  Tom

Re: Queenie on Display.
I can remember when "Prototype" vehicles would run down the assembly line. There was a gaggle of engineers/managers that would follow the car and take pictures. They would wait at the bottom of the lifter that brings down the body onto the chassis.
At my workstation there would be the "prototype" parts in a bag that said whatever year the parts were for, usually the MY after the current MY I was assembling. I literally had to ask them to move out of the way so I could attach the air filter to the throttle body housing and tighten the gear clamps. They would get in the way of and stand on air hoses. Opened the "special bag" containing the plastic part that connects the t-by housing and the air filter assembly, tighten 2 gear clamps, attach some vaccuum hoses/electrical connectors, all the while 1 of the engineers had a stopwatch to see how long my process took. My union rep always told us that whenever you saw an engineer with a stopwatch to take your time. If you were too fast, "they" would add more work into your process. I got in, got out and let the car pass me onto the next station and the group of engineers and spectators followed. It was pretty exciting, at least as exciting as it could be when working on the assembly line.lol I'm sure it was similar at the rest of the GM plants. Beautiful car, great story and those rims/tires must be priceless, along with the car. Is that the same engine (Phase II) thats in Brett's car? peace Hog |
