sorry to bring up an old thread,

I just joined recently while looking for more guys to wheel with...

yes a lot of the parts are shipped in from over seas...
but... I have several friends who work at a GM plant where they make cavalears, and sunfires /(used to make sunbirds)... in Lordstown...
and about 90% of the material is shipped in from over seas...

the problem is... its cheaper for big companys to ship in due to low tarrifs than it is to buy off of american companys...

would I buy a sunbird because it is "assembled in the USA" ...lol I did in the past...

Made in the USA is no longer what it used to mean...
I do not know of any company which uses all USA material...

I worked at a Swagelok plant, and they were huge on getting material "Made in the USA" to make all their products...

they were unable to get USA brass and copper since USA providers did not supply what they needed...
