Thanks for the pics svt.

I say for those that say, assy line workers are unskilled. They are wrong. The line is moving within a certain timing. The worker has to install their parts properly within a time limit. That is alot more tedous than sitting behind a desk. They do this day in day out, on their feet. Too monotinous for me.

Even more so than being a proccess control tech, that I was. Having a whole plant with 6 seperate processes to care for.

An assy line would drive me crazy. My hat is off to those workers.

The Ford UAW and plant manager on the tour both said that the crew/workers they have currently are the best of the best at louisville.... they had cutbacks and changes and all the weak links and bad seeds left.... they found when it came time for the moves and changes all the long time employees and dedicated workers wanted to stay !!!!!



Feels good..

Thank for sharing Todd. Any word from Ford on what the might be holding back from sharing on a replacement for the ST?



Did you get my phone call?



Any chance of getting a few of the ST Legend shirts? I'll pay for them + shipping.

Great pictures! I love seeing the assembly shots - it is cool to see the drivetrain, or the dashboard fully assembled, but not installed.



Very cool - Thanks svt :haveabeer:!

I will note that close to half the assembly line workers were women. The plant is not air conditioned but there are a lot of fans and exhaust fans and even though it was in the 90's outside, inside the plant wasn't too bad. It's not as noisy as you might expect either.

 

[Tom Schindler]

The plant temperature was about 110 degrees (I guess it was a "dry heat" :rofl.



The noise was not that loud, but I am sure it exceeded the OSHA 8 hr levels.



That is a job I want no part of. I would hate myself if I worked there.
