..they were building up the inventory to send numerous cars at the same time.

S2: Now that my friend is some good news, I just hope it's true.

I have to ask what "Trim Line" means exactly haha

I don't know exactly, but I have heard that the cars really enjoy their time there.

Final assembly.

Hi, is this where things like the vinyl stripes get applied?

Thanks,

Jaime

At least that makes two of us here in WNY that'll be going straight to storage. Misery loves company!

Soon as I take delivery, I’m taking the car down to South Florida, I’m going to cheat winter this year

So, lots of questions on the process...let me try and summarize.

Body Shop - Bodies are physically assembled. This is the part you see on TV with the welding robots connecting all the pieces to make the body
Paint Ship - Pretty self explanatory...however, the tracking system you all use doesn't break this out...it is part of body shop.
Trim Line - This is where the car is actually assembled.
From there the car goes through a series of dynamic and static tests, a water test, and a final inspection.
Then it goes to internal stripe area, or the mod shop for the carbon bits if it is a Track Pack. Other cars head out for shipping.
Penske cars go once the car has finished all testing, and mods are done.

Thanks Stixxx, I have been trying to figure out exactly what the process was, but it seemed like not much info was in the posts. Cool process.

This is great information, thank you for taking the time to share this with us.
