[QUOTE="SlowSVT, post: 15114035, member: 20202"] Frank You should consider writing a book on the Rouge River Plant (DAP). There is huge history in that place which is just as fascinating. Henry Ford built it in 1915 for Model-T production and later Sherman tanks during WWII. Raw iron ore went in one end of the building and finished product came out the other end. The Mustang assembly line cranked out a Mustang every 93 seconds and did that for 40 years. Postban (old SVTP member) took a ton of photos of the assembly process [ATTACH=full]666678[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]666679[/ATTACH] I know you book does cover the assembly of the car but it's focus is on the Terminator and not the plant itself. It was a fitting end for DAP to produce the last Fox (-4) Mustang with the Terminator in particular. My car was produced on 1/16/04 and the plant closed on 4/1/04 :nonono: The history of that factory if only the walls could speak. Here is a great documentary on the Rouge River Plant. Funny how little has changed in the basic manufacture of the components which are just as valid today as they were then.
