    Looks that Ford had all aspects of material needed
    To produce their vehicles of the time ,
    I wonder if they made gasoline for their vehicles leaving the plants?
     
  3. That was interesting. Unless i missed it, the film only showed a worker almost throwing a handfull of valves in the empty block but not the pesky fitting of valve guides and springs.

    It looks like the body panels were inserted into a stamping press running continuously. Yikes!

    I like the one of the guy yanking the loaded transmissions off the conveyor and fitting them to the rear of the block. Yikes!
