Updated site info

[KurtS]

JohnZ updated his assembly article with some new schedule info and repair info. I added several factory pictures that I've been collecting over the years and put internal hyperlinks in the article (I've also been adding the internal hyperlinks to other articles). http://www.camaros.org/assemblyprocess.shtml

I also redid the trans page with some crossmember information and eliminated the FAQ format.

Great info
Thank you for all your hard work.
Question - if there were only a small # of vehicles with a certain paint color, were they all painted at the same time? Would they have sequential body #'s?

[KurtS]

The cars didn't go thru the body shop in body # order. They went in order by sequence / rotation #.

John may have insight on this, but I'd say they wouldn't go thru together. Special paints were manually shot so you wouldn't want to have them all in a row cause they wouldn't be able to keep up. And there's no advantage of having them in order since they are being shot from a pressure pot.

COOL!!   

Any idea what the "62" on the firewall of the '67 Camaro "Front Sheetmetal Assembly" photo indicates?

I've noticed on broadcast copies that the sequence # was 3 digits. So was the number tied to a given day's production, ie, start at 1 and go thru 912 every day, etc.?? Then reset the next day??

The sequence number was assigned automatically (and sequentially) by the scheduling computer when the body exited the body bank, at which point the body was "locked in sequence" and remained that way until the car was driven off the end of the Final Line. As I recall, the numbers just started at 001, went to 999, and rolled over again continuously with no daily "reset".

That's the sequence # for Fisher. It does not match the sequence # on the broadcast sheets, so it wasn't for Chevrolet.
