I noted that, BUT after taking my car to to the Norwood Assembly Plant Reunion a couple of weeks ago and listening to and being able to ask the workers any question about the production of Norwood cars, you wouldn't believe how cars left the plants. Except for a few folks on this forum that are real sharp shooters when it comes to restorations, many are clueless and not the experts they claim to be. I especially liked one worker who stated a Camaro from Fisher Body came down from the drop from above to meet its chassis. The body had no hole in the drive shaft tunnel to meet its 4 speed transmission chassis! Then he said<span style="font-style: italic"> "that's where a big-ass chisel and hammer came into play. Problem solved....."</span>

never say never, back in the day it was just a automobile and a job, can't hold up the assembly line, but like you said he have these self proclaimed experts/purists that think it was like this and shouldn't be like that, lots of crazy stuff was done , got to have a opened mind, Jim

I can confirm we built at least one pickup truck like that....the truck went tottering down the final line while the repair man was hammering away inside. K
