A friend of mine posted this on a L forum and I thought it was pretty cool

Shows some of the design concepts in clay and somewhat finished, engine assembly line, vehicle assembly line, first cobras off the line etc... pretty cool stuff [smilie=3g[/quote]

Geeze that was 8 years ago already, wow my car is getting old.

always interesting to see pics like this though, i.e. crates full of manley rods, how they dropped the blowers on with a hoist, camilo pardo designing that clean body etc etc all unique tidbits to our cars

and the "terminator" codename.

That was pretty neat, I liked all of the engines sitting on the tables, waiting to be put in. And the freaking bodies were stacked up to the ceiling in the building!!
