You are obviously another individual who cannot stick with the facts due to your bias agenda.
You couldn't be more wrong on that point. Ask around if you doubt it.
Where did I laugh at anyone? Did you hear that through your key board?
In your post where you said, now what would Bill Embree know about procedures or some such thing. I took that to mean my sources are right and this guy is wrong. (Followed by blue laughing emoticon.) If you meant something different by that then I apologize for the mistake.
Look at YOUR posted quote from this gentleman. He BLATANTLY states that “There was no engineering spec, just some guy painting the body took a smoke break and said "kid do it like this". That is an incorrect statement being that I posted the “engineered specs” showing THAT particular paint pattern that was specified in the engineered drawings.
I just interpret it differently than you. I take it to mean that from his experience he did not have engineering drawing available to him to do his job, not that they never existed. I've never seen the business plan for the company that I work for, but it exists. I just don't need to see it to do my job.
Sorry if the truth/facts stepped on some toes. With your rationale I would imagine that some AAR Cudas ended up with 383 engines because the line workers were able to do whatever they wanted if their task became to “difficult” to accomplish.
Overexaggeration as a way to discredit? There's a big difference between an engine and a set of trim rings.
If a part wasn’t “convenient” for them they could do whatever they felt necessary in order to complete the task at hand. Grab whatever and install whatever!
According to guys who worked on the line that is exactly what happened in some instances. It was more important to get the car through than to delay it trying to find the right screws or whatever. Have you ever talked to any of these guys?
Who cares what the customer ordered! No wonder Chrysler almost went out of business in the early 70's! They had no quality control whatsoever and the employees were allowed to practice mutiny on the assembly line! Brilliant OPINION!!!
First, most cars weren't ordered but I doubt that that mattered much. Second extremely poor quality was the major reason that Chrysler almost went out of business. There were other reasons, and some of those were prevalent in the industry. Things like offering a gazillion ways to build a vehicle. Unfortunately it's why cars today are so generic.
Do what you want and think whatever you want. I really don’t care. The Mopar hobby continues in this “never progressing” mode because people like you take the most extreme NEGATIVE scenarios and try make those EXCEPTIONS protocol throughout the industry. The exception becomes the rule!
Actually I fight against that all the time. I always say that unless you can prove that your car was done differently, then you should restore it to the engineering drawing or whatever other specs exist. Like your car. You have before pics clearly showing how things were done. The actual quote I usually use is it doesn't matter how a car was done, it matters how the cars were done.
Ford and GM continue to produce nicely restored vehicles while a select “few” in the Mopar world do their best to tell the restoration world that Chryslers were pieces of junk that had no quality control during their assembly. If that is not the case maybe your “inferior” quality control attitude is just an excuse for not being able to perform the type of work that will keep pace with the “Jones”.
I'm confident enough in myself that I have never worried about what the "Joneses" have, or what they think.
Either way, I am sure your opinions are exactly what you need in order to feel better about whatever agenda you are trying to promote. Take care and enjoy your week.
I don't have agendas. I only search for knowledge. It's my passion. (Note that knowledge and facts are not the same thing.)
I hope you have a good week too. I don't take any of this personally. I hope you don't either.
