Re: CRG documented 1969 Camaro assembly process
Kurt,
That is quite an accomplishment. I'm sure most of that info took quite a but of digging and jarring of memories to get. Awesome job! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]

Re: CRG documented 1969 Camaro assembly process
great job [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
One very minor thing I notice is where he mentions Z/28 and Z-11 stripes. Should the Z-10 be added here?

Re: CRG documented 1969 Camaro assembly process
BKH:
If I read JohnZ's report correctly, the body plugs went in after primer and before lacquer. You were right, they would probably get overspray.

Re: CRG documented 1969 Camaro assembly process
I know this is about the 69 production year, but I have pics of a '67 body plug next to the area to be installed, behind the driver seat, the laquer outline of it is on the primer.

Re: CRG documented 1969 Camaro assembly process
Most of the kudos go to John.
He has a great memory and good notes. And although I've spent a some time in assembly plants, he lived in them and launched many a new vehicle. That'll help imprint the details in your memory! I did catch the Z10 stripe thing, but didn't mention it. I will now. Thanks!

Re: CRG documented 1969 Camaro assembly process
I read the post. I agree with the body drain plugs being installed before paint. That is the way I have always seen the original cars done. I really had to prove my point at GM Carlisle and I think that some people still don't believe it was done like that. I think that most seam sealing was done before primer. If you scrape enough of the sealer off, you are always into virgin bare metal. Just an observation on my part. ..BKH
