Its just weird seeing the trucks drive right into the building. Even more so with the dump trucks going in and out a few months ago.

Ah ok. Yeah they were digging the "pit" for our new 2000 ton stamping press. To put in perspective they had to dig down to the water table and then pump out the water for a few days then pour a concrete foundation for the press. This press stamps out some big honking parts think of it's stamping power as the weight of 1000 small sized cars. The dump trucks and cement trucks are done until we add anymore presses lol!

That press is to stamp the brand new 2014+ year Ford F150 OEM parts (and other vehicles) by the way!

We've done the front LCA from 2009+ years we've got the replacement now for the lowers and uppers and few other parts for 2014+ years.

We don't do any of the high performance parts other then for the Raptor, Mustang from our division we just do the mass production stuff. All the race and high performance stuff for Austin Martin and Ford Racing plus others are done out of different division but same company.

We machined all of the front suspension brackets, I forgot which ones exactly. But we machined them all, they weren't moulded

Looks like this thread got a little derailed.

Is there still a meet on the 14th?
