well i agree with you, but i have remodeled alot of houses in norwood and ive been told my numerous guys who were now policemen to hot rod guys to any other careers, they all told me one thing, that there was more drugs in that factory, more thefts and more stuff going wrong than you would ever believe.
they said more body parts and engines left out the back door on other shifts than went out the front???
they all said they saw it happen. witnessed it to!!!!
this is just my 2 cents worth, but way more than just a couple of guys have told me this, and they didnt even know each other , even when i asked them? they all still live in norwood and are in the same house that they lived in when they worked there.
it was spooky to go into contractors warehouse and see the steel tracks in the concrete left over from the norwood plant, i just stared at them, and thought my cars rolled along those tracks??? contractors warehouse was the norwood factory converted into a lumber yard.
thanks again
im not disagreeing just letting you know what ive been told from the assembly lineman that ive talked to.

you know one thing really FREAKS me out, im a home builder/remodeler right well i am, sooo i go into contractors warehouse, look around and just stare at the floor, know what i saw?????
built in steel tracks in the floor!!!!
i just stared at them and stared some more.
these are the tracks that my cars rolled on, man what an experience. to think of what all went on in there????

contractors warehouse is the norwood plant converted in to a indoor lumber yard. they went belly up, came out of it, and now i dont know what is there probably nothing id say.??
still spooks me to no end, the history of it all.!!!!!!!
think about it,if your into your cars as much as me, think about looking at the walls and floor and so on, what a chilling experience of history. all the noises and writing on cars to communicate with someone down line or smells or just all the factory stuff going on what a history to experience. if i can ever go back in time, im gonna!!!!!! with lottery numbers for tattoo's ! ! ! ! hhhaaaaa hhaaaaaaaaa

thanks &quot;unreal&quot;, i had to have that brought to my attention, seems im working to much on this new house, im trying to get it done, and the weathers bad to boot.
i hope i dont repeat myself to much, i might build another house exactly like it right next to it. hhaaaa hhhaaaaa
hopefully i will come to my senses and stop repeating myself.
thanks again.
reason being i did that, is because i thought i was sending it to a personal mailbox on this site but found out i was putting it on the same post.
oh well.
thanks again

hi guys
i glass bead blasted my oil line adapter that i took of the block before it went to the shop, it is brass, it was so aged that it looked gray, a magnet didnt stick and when i blasted it, it cleaned up a nice brass color???
it is scarred up from not using a correct socket though, but id say its pretty much original for sure, so is the big plug next to it, but its steel for sure.
thanks again

hi guys
might be wrong for this site, but my dad has a 73 vette stingray , 350 auto, and he might want to sell it, he mentioned it a while back.
i know for sure without a doubt that its a numbers matching vette, he owned it way before i bought my car, and he said it was one owner, he knows the owner, and it never was worked on at all, he has everything to it from the factory. it has about 50-60 thousand miles on it.
just throwing it out there. he and I are wondering what its worth to price fairly???
thanks again

thank you for the compliment baldwin! ! !
look at the cowl hood it is original with the 42nd week stamp on it, with gm fenders put on it 20 yrs ago, look at the grill it was silver, but i could only get a black one back then?? its what the counter guy told me? this isnt a repop grill, it came from the dealer and it fit very very nice.
i hate repops
the thing is, this is enamel, its never ever been waxed look for the shine on the curve of the cowl hood.
this guy was good, never even buffed it. this is no lie,
the day of the wedding was very very overcast and no sun what so ever.
notice im trying to pull her of the car with my other hand ?? oh well you cant have it all huh? she loves the car as much as i do.
i will get better pics as soon as the weather is better.
thank you to all
