Stick a large padded stick, and "SLAM" the hood, or door, or whatever was "out" , yes, we built them like they were for someone else
The first time I saw a guy "fit" a door, I cringed, and thought Sh*# , that guy's going to get fired for that!! Little did I know, that was Standard Operating Procedure. They are artists in there, it takes a while to appreciate the scope of their talent, but it amazed me every day to see that animal fire up and spit new cars out the end. Controled Madness. After working on the Engineering side it really boggles my mind. Truly amazing.
I still laugh when people say they do not EARN their money. The Supervision side wass the tough side. Toughest SOB's in the plant were line Supervisors, I am sure GM was no different.
