TOOL INSTALLATION UNDERWAY

From The GM Corvette Assembly Plant’s Performance Press:

This week in general assembly tool installation for the C6 really took off. More than 87 tools will be installed for the 6th generation Corvette. Some of them are specifically for the C6, while many work on both the C5 and will be used for the C6. Tools to be put in this week include: the convertible drill and top load fixtures, a tonneau sub-assembly table, convertible seatbelt tower, new deck lid fixtures and door load arm fixtures. Concurrent build is just around the corner.
