Wow, a lot of hammering and bending going on.
These look like long hoods? Until what year was assembly mostly by hand like this? Todd

Wow! What a cool set of videos. I thought that one of the cars might have been mine since they're obviously '73 2.4L cars, but then I saw the CIS engine being installed. Oh well. Still cool.

At the track = great day

It's always cool to see cars built by hand; although I have to laugh about them saying each car is a little different. Imagine being the guy who got the car everyone worked on when they were having a bad day...
