Default Ultimate Factories - Corvette....this Sunday

Posting this in two forums. Just wanted to let others know that don't generally go to the C6 section. Hope that's okay with the moderators.


This Sunday, March 6th at 5:00 pm on the National Geographic channel. Here is a link to their site with a short video. Some have probably seen it, but thought I'd post this as a reminder that it's on again.


New link.

That show has been on many times before, but well worth watching or recording if you have not seen it yet.

Its pretty cool, I think it follows a C6 Z06 and talks about how the motor is built by hand by one person.

I just set my DVR to record it. I'm also going to record the 911 show and the one about the new gull-wing MZB.

Thanks for the heads up.

I liked it so much that after I seen it the first time over a year ago, I purchased the DVD.

I have some friends here in Hopkinsville that work for Dana Corp who built the frames for the Z06 but they didn't make into any of the camera shots. I'm not sure if they still have the frame contract or not, I'll have to check into that. One of my buddies bid on a job to be the liaison between Dana and the assembly plant and got the job. He drove to Bowling Green everyday and if there were any manufacturing/assembly issues involving the frame it was his responsibility to see that modifications were made to the process at Dana. He doesn't own a Vette but I asked him if he was maybe bringing one home a piece at a time.
