Does anyone know how the assembly line operates (maybe something the tour tells you)? I know they are building the Vettes pretty quickly, but I have no idea how it all comes togeher. I assume the major assemblies like the engine, tranny, differental, etc are already built and waiting -- then it all gets 'slapped' together.
Also, after the car is built, I hear it goes through some final QA and emmissons tests, and even a few cars get 'pulled' for further extensive testing and driving?
Does the assembly line run 7 days/week, 3 shifts, or is it a Monday thru Friday operation? Is it still "bad" to get a Monday or Friday car like the old days? /phpBB/images/smiles/icon_eek.gif
Anyway, it would be really cool if someone could do a detailed write-up on the whole process of the Vette build -- it could even be something that could be put on this board permanantly just like some of the other write-ups (like 63/01/02 Z06 Info). This could even give us less fortunate guys who can't get to Kentucy for a tour a feeling of going through it /phpBB/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif.
Thanks!
