I don't think I've read a take yet on the stamping issue specifically, but Dwight's take on moving production to Connor was that:

1) The move in itself was burning money the company would later desperately need

2) The inevitable quality and production issues from the move greatly lowered the public trust in the 55 and 56 models, sharply reducing expected revenue.

Probably the most favorable solution would have been to do at Connor whatever Briggs formerly did, then truck the bodies back to the existing assembly line that had been working great for years.
