Thought you guy's might enjoy this. Not sure if this was ever posted here before, but if you want to see the 63 prototype being hand built for the first time and video of Zora Duntof at the test track, this is a neat short documentary to watch.

I have seen it before. Really cool. Look how they are working in white shirts, you would not do that today with fiberglass. Thanks for posting.

Lifting the Corvette panels with 6 guys and no back protection...running fiberglass 'chopper' guns in street clothes, and on, and on. OSHA would have had a field day..

The guys at the St Louis plant repair area were spray painting panel and area touch up out in the open right to the end of Production in 1981.

Different times....I washed my hands in many a tub of Freon to get aircraft hydraulic fluid off my hands working at the Navy Depot....sprayed enough Zinc-Chromate out of rattle cans with no protection on to cover a city block.

I keep worrying that I'll grow a second head that will keep me up all night arguing.
