Thanks for posting those, Darrell.

I've done many of those activities over the last 37 years and it is interesting to me that alot of it is still done the same way.

We still use clay models (both full size and scale) except now the scan data goes directly to math rather than paper drawings, tapes or storage discs.

I was pleased to see the level of automation in use in the body shops - still done the same way. One difference I noticed is that they were spraying the prime coat whereas we use ELPO dip tanks exclusively now.
