Even as young, aspiring engineers at the age of around 10 or so, most of us had a wondrous amazement about how things were put together. We bought models of cars just so we could build a car, we dissected our bicycles and hoped we could put them back together, and if we really got lucky, dad left his tool box unlocked, and everything was fair game.

As we got older, that yearning to see how things are built has never gone away. This is evident in the fact that there are successful television series’ based on just this premise. For that reason, when we came across this National Geographic video showing the assembly of a new Camaro, we had to check it out for ourselves. The video gives an in-depth look into the entire process of Camaro assembly, but please be forewarned, the video is quite long. A typical web video is roughly less than 10-minutes long, but this one is about 3 hours.

While we find it nearly impossible to sit at a computer screen for more than 15 minutes, the video is comprehensive in detail, and there is a pause button. The average time that it takes to completely build the new Camaro is roughly 18-hours, and a new Camaro rolls off the assembly line almost every minute. There are 734 robots delivering the 5,000 spot welds that are needed to create the body shell for each Camaro Coupe.

So grab some popcorn and a drink of your choice, sit back, and watch this video. By the way, the pause button does work.
