Not Pontiac; Chevies.

 

I think your both wrong, looks more like Chrysler or Plymouths to me.

 

Did Chrysler or Plymouths have OHV 6's ??

 

36 Chevies



36Pontiac

I've never seen a 6 lug Mopar wheel

 

Cool video regardless of make.

 

pure art in motion!

I stand corrected!

 

That was rad. I actually got a little excited when the body was dropped onto the frame for the first time....

 

I like that they rub down the body panels by hand to check for imperfections..I seems strange that we pay so much more for a car now days when machines do the majority of the building It seems their was alot more hands on back then..

 

Thank heaven that they were all wearing protective goggles and steel toed shoes.

 

Here's the full length version, Called "Master Hands", almost 27 minutes long. Very cool!

some of that is something else - like that old duffer horsing around that hot steel blank in the forging dies to make a crankshaft - imagine doing that with 90 pound slugs for 8-10 hours a day...

 

CHEATERS!!! You know how hard it is to make one of those today
