Man, what a dangerous place to work. All that huge machinery just waiting to get you!

I watched the video and knowing that 98% of those workers are gone now and how much has changed for days when the rivet held the cars together. did see some simple spot welding but not a single robot just hard working men and I didn't see any women workers there.

That is totally cool. They got the music wrong, though. Cue the "Powerhouse" theme from the old Warner Bros. cartoons and watch it again. Oh, and I suppose more than a few fingers were lost in there over the years.

My 2000 Superduty has rivets in the frame. And the 2013 Ford Box van we use at work has rivets in the frame....
