Thanks guys,
It was a fun job. We also had the prototype 1986 coupe with the 1st ZR1/LT5 conversion on it. It had a phase I engine and ran like a scalded rabbit. With the standard width 86 body the tires protruded from the openings and it looked like a hot rod. It was also interesting driving "either of them" around the streets of Southfield and Dearborn. This red car drew a lot of attention. In 88 most folks had only heard about the ZR1. I'll dig up some pictures from that time and post them sometime soon. Will. |

[B][FONT="Comic Sans MS"][SIZE="3"][QUOTE]The company was a automotive technical service company that was contracted by GM, and I contracted my services as a protoype mechanic to them.
The primary object was to develope service procedures from scratch and translate them to a segmented procedure to be converted to a service manual. It included development of many of the special tools needed for spicific procedures, so I got to work closely with a Kent Moore rep also. Once a procedure was developed and approved by GM, we would then establish the labor times based on the procedure. It was very interesting and I had access to the Milford Mich advance product facilities. I attended many advance product seminars there. We also developed many procedures and time studies for Cadillac and Pontiac ..... (remember the Fiero's), fun little cars. Heres a couple pictures I dug up..................[/ This is the red 0003 VIN car..... norice the "LT5" emblem on the rear facia. Last edited by rockerarm; 11-25-2014 at 01:39 PM. |
