The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Video of a "Trip through the River Rouge Plant"

I watched it and was so enthralled I watched it again. I have been to the Museum and the Village and they are amazing, but seeing what was done there is mind boggling. In my little 2-3 man cabinetshop I get bored assembling 60 drawers and can't wait for a change of pace in the afternoon..... Crankshafts etc, etc for years on end. They truly were the 'Greatest Generation' and children of the depression who made this country what it is today. Much of what we enjoy today was forged by the people in this video. And I dare say their brothers on the GM and other assembly lines. (But the others outsourced their steel, glass and tires, etc)

End of rant.
