You'll get a ton of info.
Determining the exact build date is an inexact science until it gets very close, but Kevin is very good at what he does... and he gets it pretty close. You will have to have a flexible schedule and no promises can be made, but if you pull it off it is a once in a lifetime experience.
We got to ride in my car before its wheels ever touched the ground,
got to start it the first time and finally to drive it off the assembly line.
The one thing that Kevin will tell you is that the work stations are employee turf, he cannot get you out of the tour aisles, but if the people on the line invite you into their workplace.... Wow!!!

No, that is my buddy who flew me down for the day... and me of course.
Kevin is a good ol' southern boy, my guess is in his 50's, probably about 5'10", medium build. Great guy,
Here are two lousey pix of him... color is way off... his hair is not red, but it looks like that is the best yer gonna' git :-)

This has got to be the worst "picture" post I've ever seen. We alway's beeotch that it's worthless without pics; I'm thinking this is worthless with pics. Those are the best pics of kevin we have - sheesh!

Yea sure, the only down side is that you don't get the personal VIP tour you get with NCM delivery. Either way, it's a great experience...

yep..I did.
Ask them for a build sheet when you are there.
Got one n/c, took it out of the car.
Send me pm if you want details on how.

You may have to work out a tour "deal" with someone at the plant if your tour is not part of the NCM delivery. With delivery, small groups -- 2, 3, 4 folks, get a lengthy visit. While we were doing ours, I think about four or five "regular" tour groups blew by, with upwards of a dozen people each, kind of strung out in a line, and "hard walkin'", as we say down here.
