I started as a co-op student (GMI = General Motors Institute) at the Flint Truck assembly plant.

I've worked on 6 generations of Full Size Trucks (Squarebody, GMT400, GMT800, GMT900, K2 and T1) one electric vehicle (Volt) and one low volume show car type build that I can't talk about.

OMG am I jealous! I wanted so bad to do that stuff when I was a kid, my dad was a Buick salesman from when I was born until I was out of highschool. I don't know why I didn't pursue it, I had a GM plant 8 miles from my house for goodness sakes. But I fell into autobody and did that instead. But damn that is some cool stuff, you have some awesome memories I am sure.
