caap pics ?

[Kratos]

I can't imagine all they have to go through to test each part of the car. Although the pics looks awesome, they make me feel sympathy for these guys/girls busting their tale like this to put out all these cars hoping that a part they were in charge of doesn't go wrong on anyone's car.

What passion.....but what stress also....

There seems to Q/C checks in place everywhere but this is a segregated Q/C area

Below is an alignment check fixture (right window) however there are robots with lasers out on the floor that can detect mis-alignments. My guess is if something is flagged by them it will likely end up here.

Since they aren't making these cars by the tens-of-thousands there are many good ideas utilized to address the absence of just having conveyor belts running the show.

Those orange arms in the air are the laser equiped robots mentioned earlier. We couldn't get any closer. Several million$$ there in high technology capable of checking literally dozens of critical measurments.

Throuout the entire plant there are these storyboards that serve multiple purposes. Quality, Safety and Team Morale seem to be focus thru the entire plant!

This is called the "Broadcasting Area". When these rolling chassis are facing this particular direction it signals they are approved and for the panel assembly line

This tapping head is high speed/ high precision... it can auto adjust the head angle to match the holes and decrease production time 10:1

I was told that he and Sambora each paid $25k over sticker for their cars.

 

[viper GTS-R]

Jon is a serious Viper owner. He's had two others in the past.

Not sure Bob, sorry I wasn't really asking alot of questions... just walking and taking pics. Maybe sombody else that was there can answer that.

What, that the CEO gets his car before him?

I am getting a white SRT, god that looks good!

 

[supersnake]

I noticed that where all the cars are parked, One blue launch edition has no Stripes (#28) Wondering whats up with that one or are they building solid blues too. Kind of strange as it is # like the rest of them. And as the stripes are painted on first, maybe this one will be painted later if it is indeed a launch edition.

Good catch!! It also has Hyper Black wheels on it. Perhaps it's an Chrysler Executives car.

 

[ViperSmith]

Are you sure it is was a LE? You can get the GTS in "GTS Pearl Blue" (with no white stripes)

 

[09 Venom]

that white really stands out....cant wait!

 

[supersnake]

That maybe, but it has a # like the rest of them in the row and from what I read here in the forums they were only building the LE's and the the red track paks.

 

[Chelseasnake]

i see in one pic there is a stryker red car with no hood. must be one of the FREE AIR editions

 

[SilveRT8]

Well, since you're getting yours in MARCH, the wait is almost over ????

WoW! I look so much like my dad in that picture. I really do miss him.

I am happy everyone had a great time visiting my home. I have put the kids to bed for the night. They are excited to see the next group to come through Conner.

 

[ViperLSS]

Awe man....thanks! Keep them coming! Looks like they are painting the taillight surround on the GTS GLOSS black instead of the matte.I see some shine. Yaaaay!

Funny thing about that. I really hated the look of the flat black. And neither did *couch Ralph couch* . So now they're a gloss black.

 

[09 Venom]

yeah..i was told March in december...now not so sure. i am thinking May!!!!!!!

Well, since you're getting yours in MARCH, the wait is almost over ????
