Totally understand. I had a SunRoof job on the ALl Tima.

If you had 10 in a row We was 2 Zones down line.
I got to know some of my Fellow workers though.

There is no shortage of things in a vehicle assembly plant to capture your imagination, if you are a car guy.

I was Very involved in the ( Kizanes) / Changes of Models and Etc.

One of the biggest Improvements I suggested was ,

I had a Job installing Mirrors.

If the mirror was (No Good).

The back up Stock / Rack was Disorganized.

I helped them set up a Rack for this mess/

Because A truck going down the line without a Mirror ,
It Got covered up Quick. Door panel and Etc.

I helped designed a Back-Up rack for
Every paint Color. and
And Both Options.
Power mirror
Non Power mirror
Chrome mirror was also included.
Then 12 Paint colors.

There was 20+ mirrors that were Required.

So I asked for a Rack of 7 long and 5 slots high .

This way there was 3 rows that were used for the High Users at the time.

I gain a lot of Knowledge from there Crazy way of doing Business.
