I really can't believe I wasted my time reading this thread, but I'll say it's darn entraining to say the least ,that so many do not have anything more constructive to do than try to make a mountain out of a mole hill. but then again I read it. [/quote

I'd say it was quick&sloppy. Same manner in which bumpers/doors/paint/etc were done back then. Geez: unless Chrysler actually had training on this or a written procedure. Sounds like it belongs in a Corvette forum.
