Assembly Shop Tour
Preliminary
Assembly Area
This is the back room where the basic cars are assembled. Following
the complete assembly of the substructure, the outer sheet metal is attached. Jigs are
used to locate the quarter panels |
|
Body Jigs
Close-up view of the precision jigs developed shows how we attach all
the outer sheet metal panels. The tolerances are extremely close
to ensure that there is repeatability for interchangeability of parts,
should the need arise. |
|
Body Assembly
Bodies are assembled in the rear shop and then loaded by crane onto
shipping pallets. From here, they are rolled out into the main room where
the tops are installed. Tops are pre-built on special fixtures in a trim
shop, and are waiting for the new bodies as soon as they are “born". |
|
Final Assembly Area
The final assembly area is where all the closure panels get attached
after the body itself is built. Here, the tonneau panel is being located.
The folding top assemblies and windshields are also mounted here. |
|
Final Assembly Area
The end of the line, where the tops, closure panels, and windshields
are mounted. When the bodies leave this area, they are finished, and
moved off to the staging area. |
|
Staging area
E-coated bodies are lined up on the left, and the non e-coated bodies
sit in a separate line on the right. |
|
Bodies Ready For Shipment
Completed convertible bodies waiting for pick up. With a production
rate of one body per day we can provide you with a body shortly after your
order is placed. |
|
