The 1963 Corvette Sting Ray being assembled at the St. Louis Plant (YouTube)

Very nice. HOWEVER, the YouTube poster stole every last byte and image of that, using every photo, in exactly the correct operational sequence from my tediously-compiled PowerPoint presentation on the St. Louis-Corvette Body Shop, Paint Shop, Trim Shop, Chassis, and Final assembly process which I presented at the 2011 NCRS National Convention in Novi and subsequently at several Regionals that same year, with no attribution whatsoever to me as the author and copyright holder. If I can still remember how to post a photo from the 2011 National Convention, you'll recognize me and the opening slide of the presentation. At each location where I made the presentation, I left a thumb drive containing the entire presentation (including all the sequential text slides which the YouTube poster cut out); somebody must have gotten their hands on one of those thumb drives and decided to get their five minutes of fame.

It just gags me that the guy stole my work, presents it as his, and gives no credit or attribution to me as the author; welcome to the Internet.

I totally agree with you John, this is despicable when people do this kind of thing. And unfortunately, YouTube has made a high paying business of people stealing other people's work, and they are making a fortune on this theft.

What I noticed is the high level of gloss in the paint. Even in the jambs and un-buffed areas (hood grill depressions)! Maybe we should show a few of those photos in the next paint judging classes. We might finally get the word dull out of the exterior judges vocabulary.

Best comment of this post. Thanks Joe!

Thank You Joseph - really battling right now about trying to get the paint on my '63 right - there are pics in Noland Adams that are pretty shiny as well.

John, it's just awful. I've commented to the plagiarist on his youtube page and we will see if he cares enough to correct his foul deed.
