Now,looking at the plant assembly line...1 military blazer and then say 4 or 5 civi ones then a couple of military ones.Would that put the assembly costs up.I thought i might have been better to build in batches.Say 40 or 50 at a time.Here in the Uk if the military want Land Rovers they are built in batches.As military rovers have differant wiring harnesses and the like.The harnesses are all the same color just have differant numbers it the end of the cables.
