I got an email from one of my Vette friends and I thought I pass it on here.
Sounds like something we would like to watch. :thumbsup:

Corvette Featured on “Ultimate Factories” Show

Catch the world premiere of National Geographic’s “Ultimate Factories” and watch the complete story of Corvette’s build - Thursday, November 29, at 10 p.m. ET/PT.

Starting at the Dana Plant in Hopkinsville, Ky., where the aluminum skeleton, or space frame, is built in just 18 minutes and follow through to Bowling Green, Ky., where the floors, doors, panels and paint are added, as well as the power seats, the dashboard and one distinctive Corvette feature, the classic teardrop rear window.

Footage also includes GM’s Performance Center in Wixom, Michigan where the revolutionary Z06 engine is hand-built like a race-car engine, by one technician in four hours. www.nationalgeographic.com
 
Lou,
I watched that thing and was WOW'd by it! No wonder the Z-06 is such a great car, and the paint room blew me away. They have sure come a LONG way! Glenn
 
I tried to tape it on TIVO and the channel didn't switch over correctly. Nevertheless, I missed the show and hope a rerun will show soon. :shrug01:

Must be nice to get the Nat Geo channel. Where I live, they are still using rabbit ears and dial up...I have satellite but NG not available...Country living has its advantages though as some of you know...
