Good news Super Coach. Things are starting to hot up.
Out of interest, how long does it take to make a Commodore? If day 1 is pressing the metal, day?? is it being driven off the line.
Bodies are made days before the car actually gets to final assembly. Below is the production history of my MY16 Redline. That was when they were building cars at a faster rate and also included Cruze bodies. Things might of slightly changed now, but would still be close to my timings. My target build date was 31/8/2016, so as you can see the production of my car started 3 days before the actual target build date.
