Adventures in Drywall<br>This is Not Your Father's Oldsmobile
Bill and Kevin stumble on a new market that boasts efficient and economic advantages.
Ever since Henry Ford introduced the idea of building cars on an assembly line, manufacturers of virtually everything on earth have evolved to become more efficient through automation. That prized pickup sitting in your driveway was built in an automated plant. It traveled down an assembly line, each task being completed by a specialist. Every step of the way there was a quality-control inspector identified by a number carefully checking the specifications of the product.
Only a nitwit would argue the fact that your brother-in-law Hank would be able to completely assemble your next Silverado in his tool- and beer-stocked garage in as timely a fashion as the GM assembly plant. Even if he had access to every nut, bolt and washer that it would require to complete such an endeavor, the finished vehicle would cost 10 times more than its factory-assembled cousin. Kevin can bear witness to this. The 1969 Camaro sitting in his garage undergoing a frame-off restoration has already drained much of his secret slush fund.
