Is that a correct assumption? I work for the government in the US and there are different terms for all of our days off. Thanks,

RDO - Regular Days Off (Saturday & Sunday)
Holiday - Federal Holidays like Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Years, etc.
Annual Leave - vacation time (approximately 3 to 4 weeks/year)
Sick Leave - time off when sick (approximately 2 weeks/year)

I guess we all have different name for our time off.

Sat and Sun.. = weekend
Any other extended time off ..= holidays
sick leave is .. S.n A. (sick and accident)
Summer shut down is usually the first 2 weeks of July.
And in my case .. RETIRED

I just got word that I hit 3400 at least by Monday, and should be built this week. My question is: How will the shutdown affect the time of delivery. Thanks for all your info MOLE, and if Super60 can continue this I'm sure we would all be grateful. Happy retirement Mole. ENJOY!!!

hot ss · 06-29-2009, 10:00 PM

Next week when the plant is down then all of the suppliers will likely be down too.

Tired of getting up at 4 am.

NightmareSS · 06-30-2009, 09:43 AM

hey mole...some1 that had a tpw for yesterday said they called up the chevy customer service line and was told their car was built yesterday....since it takes 4 days to build, does this mean the plant is ahead of schedule? or this person is getting wrong information?

3GPa · 06-30-2009, 11:03 AM

Mole,
Thanks for all the great info. Good Luck. I retired once. Seems like I'm working again though! CEO's Suck! imho.

Well I'm not sure if the car is recorded as built when it starts on the line or when it is run off the end of the line. That could be whats up.

You guys that are building these babies are most appreciated. Thank you for the time you take to make sure they are of high quality. For a lot of us, we will have these for the rest of our lives.

Det57 · 06-30-2009, 10:40 PM

Hi Mole and congrats on your retirement!! I agree with all the others...your time and effort by you and the whole gang is greatly appreciated. I just received my 2SS/RS IO w/black gut yesterday and the fit and finish inside and out is incredible. Im sure it was most likely one of your latest works of art on the line. You guys rock!

I want to have my black stripes painted on. Do either you or Super 60 know what brand/kind of clear coat is used on these cars? I would like to use the same product for obvious reasons.
Thanks for all your info and enjoy the well earned good life!

Hey, now what are you going to do? Go to Disneyland?

Or maybe head for Hollywood and into the film industry?
