Default Re: Stole this one from Mark C

They were, but different plants. There was a plant for 'Vettes and another one that built fullsize Chevys and pickups.

There are several guys around town here who retired from there. One I see quite often worked at both the SL and BG Corvette factorys, and Moparts' dad retired from Fisher Body, as a foreman in the paint division at the big car plant. Several years ago I had Mo's dad over at my shop and go around my Camaro explaining how the thing was built. I have pages and pages of notes from that walk around, as well as several pages of follow up notes. In addition, I still ask him questions from time to time about the process. Quite interesting to hear why things are the way they are and how Fisher Body/chevrolet did certain things.
