I have an interior demolition video from Norwood showing the detail there during the tear down. Its disconcerting to see active heavy equipment inside the building just smashing and destroying things that could have salvage value.

Your thread reminded me of my old friend Owen Snyder, who was the plant planning coordinator at the Janesville plant when I used to visit there.
He was a neat guy. He raced sprint cars and was quite successful, to the point that GM asked him to stop racing (because they thought it was too risky). Rather than stop he continued to race under an assumed name: "Roy Brown". He showed me newspaper clippings that said "BROWN BEATS SNYDER'S RECORD" and "WHO IS THIS MYSTERIOUS ROY BROWN?". I was not successful Facebook stalking him to see how he was doing but I did find a picture of him sitting in an Offy powered sprint. His son, also named Owen, was the crew chief for Al Unser Jr's Indy car efforts. K
