One of my former car lot customers use to buy a truck out of a barn every year and strip it down to the frame and build it back up 100%. Then he would get it photographed and seen in a calendar.
That is incredible to see. No wonder assembly lines were helpful in construction of it. The motor looks to be the most complicated part in the entire car. Thanks Steve Hart
Anyone familiar with the Ford rules for shipping content to the plant? Wooden crates had to be a specific size because they were apart of the roof after getting covered.
Stephen Russell what a fascinating piece of history with the shipping crates and the use of them. That truly was a waste nothing plan, something I fear we got careless about in later years. I hope we can adapt and adopt that kind of thinking in business again.
It makes a wonderful sculpture and what a great way to see how the famous car was constructed.
ReplyDeleteCad drawing in real life.
ReplyDeleteStephen Russell it does - that's what I was thinking too
ReplyDeleteIt makes it look like a frame-off restoration would be kind of simple for a T.

ReplyDeleteHenry was amazing at squeezing everything he could out of everything tom make it all work.
ReplyDeleteNow that must have taken some thought. Impressive. Wish our local museum would do something like this.
