Sometimes I wonder if my dad just makes up words or if they really are in wider usage. Today I learned he did not make up "Thunderchicken".We occasionally got into a build and park situation at an assemby plant. Take Lorain Ohio...two plants in one under roof. Thunderchickens on the car side and Econolines on the other side. We were in the middle of a headache with the 8.8 rear axle for pitch line runout resulting in Econoline Boom. When we pulled into Lorain Assembly there were Thunderchickens parked all around the plant and it was obvious none of the Chickens had taillights. Thousands of Thunderchickens. We could not even find a place to park. So we gave up and drove back to our hotel to map strategy for how to support our plant drives. We hired a cab. It took weeks for the plant to get the Thunderchickens processsed once parts became available. Just another production nightmare...
