This is eaglei (aka Don Henley). Sorry I didn't respond earlier, just saw your posting as working on new build summary list.
Yes I built engines at Wixom from 2007 into 2013. Then when it became apparent that Wixom PBC would be closing I put in a transfer to work at Milford PG and was fortunate to end my GM career there. I ended up working in Media Prep so had a chance to work on all kinds of vehicles for media events and shows. Got to do some trips to support Meda events too. But the best part was many test drives on GM tracks!!
Finally decided to retire after almost 45 years at GM. I'm so blessed for the opportunities I've had working at GM. Building and testing Corvette engines at Wixom was a great gig! Enjoyed the work and the people there, and was very cool to meet some of the customers that came in to build or to visit. Best wishes to you all and...put it to floor once for me!!
Ever your friend, Don
