Re: Great old pictures
I've seen most of these before, but I always love looking at them again, especially the first one. I always imagine that I would have loved working on the assembly line for these old GM trucks. There is a good nostalgic pic thread here on the 60-66 board, and I have a ton of development photos linked in my signature.

Re: Great old pictures
I will often feel the guy (I don't mean that creepy, don't make it creepy) putting the part on that I am taking off of an original car or truck that I know has never been touched. I feel the guy who screwed that screw in that I am unscrewing, you know what I mean? Some man feeding his family put this screw in that I am removing 50 years later. I just dig doing that.

After a few hundred times doing the same thing in your first day the "new wears off" pretty quickly. There's probably a few more car guys in the skilled trade ranks (pipefitter, electrician, welder, die maker, etc) K |

Very cool! I live in the town (now a CITY) where your GTO was likely made. It's now a Tesla plant and my Gran Sport was made in that very building. Brian http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps4f02a5dd.jpg |
Re: Great old pictures
there are two old sayings in conflict with each other, the first is "do something you love and you will never work a day in your life", the second is "the surest way to kill your hobby is to do it for a living". I have done both, and there is truth to both.
those guys tightening the bolts ate their spinach based on all the bolts I have had to cut off or drill out haha |
Re: Great old pictures

Re: Great old pictures
Having worked on a different type of assembly line years ago I'd say Keith hit it pretty well in post 11. A small percentage were true car or truck guys but for the majority it was just the good paying job that they put in their 40 at every week. And the second or third generations working in the same plant was a real thing as when you graduated from Highschool your dad or uncle took you down to the plant and introduced you to what served as the HR people then and they usually knew you were coming. You got your job, went though a bit of training and went out on the line where you could work until you retire if you kept your nose clean.
