Re: Glock's new project: "Fred" w/ 5.3L LS swap info

When I first started there in 1993 we were pumping out 6 complete conversions vans a day, and about 12 trucks a day, minus paint. When I left we are doing about 2 vans a day, and the truck line had been moved into our shop because demand was so low. It got to the point where we only had like 3 off the shelf packages for each, and the rest of what we did was one-off customs, or bolt on. Most everything there is now bolt on it seems, with a few custom trucks and vans rolling out here and there. But the retail store is now about 3x the size of what it use to be.

The owner and I are still pretty tight, we speak regularly. We always got along very, very well. If something ever happened where I work now, I could probably walk back in there and start working that day. He's always asking me (jokingly) when I am coming back.
