    The only thing is why they did not paint the floors like in aircraft maintenance areas, each section is painted different colors etc. That would be great to see get done, also its a OHS issue as well, keeping your distance away from each type of machine etc. 👍👍👌👌🦘🦘✌✌

    Great video, my favorite era in NASCAR with all the different manufacturers and the obviousl (visual) connection with the street car; I was hoping for quick view of the deck lid with the the bracing, i.e. from the factory. Didn't they do that until 1989?

    Amazon & Walmart use PLUG manufacturing for their H2H. That said, Plug hasn’t got their green H2H plants in operation yet and is loosing money supplying Black H2H (coal electric power to split the water molecule) to supply Amazon & Walmart. The goal is to supply H2H less than $2 per cubic feet (I’ll need fact checked on cubic feet or cubic liters) for H2H to be considered for industrial pricing. Electric metro and H2H for heavy. H2H for Aircraft fuel (30-50 passenger) heavy equipment, freight liners, and trains. H2H to pull anything heavy because it fuels faster and has a longer distance than electric engine. Cummings just announced a new H2H engine…..H2H will be the future fuel source. Will need smaller solar and wind farms. H2H is transportable to anywhere and stores longer than electricity. The next step is dry H2H. Patented in 2018….it’s coming. It just needs to be scaled to meet demand. You will be able to buy a dry H2H off the shelf in any store that can be recycled over 150 times. A byproduct of dry hydrogen can be sold and would pay for the recycling… Hang on the future is getting exciting by the year 😎
