Six inches to the left...six inches to the right and it looks like Ralph the riveter is going to get riveted into a 36 Chebbie....

It's amazing to watch how everything works as a unit. I bet it was a nightmare to isolate when a line got out of phase somewhere.

You can imagine what the noise level was like. No ear protection (visible) in those days!

Amazing to see how robotic the frame assembly plant was.

Thanks for sharing.

Yep - it's not too bad as long as everything keeps flowing.

But - introduce a change to a part, or get out of sequence, or model change over: what a mess!

I've always said &quot;...building a million is easy; building the first one is hard.&quot;
