Ferguson examined the limo several days prior to calling the Arlington
Glass Co. on the 26th. In researching this I came across this interesting
timeline regarding the limo.
http://ss100x.com/
Below is in exerpt:
November 23, 1963 1:00 am EST DC Paterni arranges for FBI agents to
examine 100X for evidence. SA and ballistics expert Robert Frazier arrives
with Cunningham, Bartlett, Killiam and Thomas. They are signed into the
White House Garage logs. Bartlett drives 100X out from its bay. Exam
details. SA Taylor reports "small hole in the windshield of 100X from
which bullet fragments were removed."
3:10 am CST USAF #276 leaves Carswell AFB, arrives 6:30 am EST, returning
evidence from DPD to DC FBI along with Vince Drain.
10:00 am EST F Vaughn Ferguson of Ford Motor Company DC Branch inspects
the windshield for damage. The car is guarded and under a tarp, and he is
not allowed to examine any other part of it at that time.
4:00 pm EST Messrs. Jack Fox and Howard K Norton, of the Protective
Research Section photograph 100X (CE 352, CE 353)
4:30 pm EST SA Gonzales contacts SAIC Bouck and DC Paterni, requesting to
clean out inside of 100X because of the offensive odor. They are
instructed to obtain permission from the FBI, which is done. At that
point, flowers, torn pieces of paper, other "miscellaneous debris" is
removed from the floor of the rear of the limo and taken to the Washington
Field Office by White House Police Officer Hutch.
11/24/63 Ferguson returns to the White House Garage. 100X is no longer
under guard. He cleaned blood from the back seat upholstery buttons, but
did not try to clean the bloodstained back floor rug. The SS had already
cleaned out the car.
11/25/63 100X remained in the White House Garage; logs show two entries
for the day. Though both entries related to operations of the Garage
(rather than 100X), Army personnel were present from Ft. Meyer supervising
the Garage. (The specious statement that 100X was somehow 'beamed' to the
Rouge B Building at Dearborn is therefore unlikely.)
11/26/63 In response to Ferguson's call of 11/26/63, Arlington Glass
personnel arrive to replace the windshield. According to the White House
Logs, they first take five minutes to measure it, then return to install
it. Mr. Davis of the SS takes the windshield, which the men have pushed
out with their feet. Ferguson doesn't see the windshield again, but SA
Kellerman does. This is made into an issue by another researcher; facts
indicate that Ferguson had no reason to look at the old windshield again.
(Contradiction between Rowley and White House Logs). Carpet that Ferguson
has ordered by phone from Hess & Eisenhardt arrives at the White House
Garage. H&E records verify that carpet was ordered; Ford Motor Company
archives show that there was a question as to where to bill the cost of
the carpeting.
Note the passage from 11/23/63, 1:00 am:
"small hole in the windshield of 100X from which bullet fragments were
removed."
Note also that the passage for 11/25/63 notes the limo was still in the
garage and being guarded by Army personnel.

There is nothing in the garage log which supports Whitaker's bullshit
story that the limo was in Michigan on the 25th. That's something you
simply imagined because you desperately want to believe it.
If the main plant had facilities to do the interior work on the limo why
would it have been sent to Hess and Eisenhardt for both the original
customization and the post assassination refurbishment. That makes no
sense.
Of course the biggest obstacle to Ford doing the interior work on site was
the fact the limo was in the White House garage being guarded by Army
personnel on the 25th.

No evidence. Just your assumptions. Zero documentation that the limo ever
left the White House garage from the time it arrived from Dallas until the
windshield was replaced on the 26th. It was closely guarded during that
time.
For stock automobiles. No mention of custom work being done.
I don't need to. He's your witness. You need to come up with a reason for
believing him other than that you want to.

Oh, so imaginary unnamed witnesses are good enough to corroborate
Whitaker. The fact that no one accessed the limo in the garage on the 25th
does not support the claim it was in Michigan. It is all Whitaker's story
and nothing else.
It is hardly nitpicking to point out that three witnesses di NOT say what
you claimed they said.

Is that so. So if someone said there was a hole in JFK's back that
establishes that the hole went all the way through him. That's according
to you definition of a hole.

Safety glass is not thin and a number of people indicated the hole did not
go through. FBI agent Frazier removed fragments from the hole from the
inside. Kellerman indicated the outer surface of the windshield remained
smooth because the fragment had not penetrated through the glass.

So by your definition of a hole, it has to go all the way through an
object in order for it to be a hole.

There were numerous fragments from the bullet found inside the limo. There
were two that had enough material that they could be positively matched to
Oswald's rifle. In addition the total volume of fragments found in the
limo was less than a whole bullet which would indicate some fragments left
the limo.
There was one. We see it in the Z-film.

The Connally's were showered by the mess. JBC described bits of brain the
size of his thumb. But that is beside the point which you missed. If there
was a clear path between the JFK's head and the hole in the windshield,
that clear path would exist for a missile traveling in either direction.

There were more than two.

You keep insisting that we prove bullets from the Carcano hit or hurt
anyone. So let me see your proof that a bullet from the Carcano hit the
chrome bar directly. Or is this another place where you will invoke one of
your double standards.
> But it broke into only 2 pieces for all that.
I don't know where you got the idea there were only two fragments.
> Hitting a skull is far softer than the solid steel of the chrome backing.

Which doesn't establish that a skull isn't hard enough to cause the bullet
to fragment.

I neither accept nor reject stories simply because they are presented by
lawyers. I accept or reject them based on whether there is credible
evidence to support them. You haven't once heard me dismiss a story simply
because it came from a lawyer. You on the other hand do that quite
frequently with the WCR.

Because the story can't possibly be true. The limo was not in Michigan on
the 25th.

No, all the documentation indicates the limo remained in the White House
garage the entire weekend and the windshield was replaced on the 26th.
