That was a nasty ugly 67 they used? Umm, I thought the '10 was designed to mimic the '69? And , i loved the 'let's keep this "P.C." V6 obsession.

The last episode of Chop Cut Rebuild where they're building the '69 Pro-touring Camaro also had a segment where they visited the Camaro factory. Probably 8 minutes or so of coverage. Really amazing place.

I watched 3/4 of it. It was pretty good. The state of the art automation is incredible.

I also learned that those people won't be installing the electrical harness in my Camaro. :lol:

I dug the way they could paint cars different colors one behind the other with no overlap or overspray...couldn't/wouldn't do that in the old days.

Also,watching them change over stamping dies to punch out different body parts was wild too,within 8 minutes they roll in another huge die and bam,just went from stamping out hoods to making doors...two at a time.:unibrow:
