At the framing buck, the car still has no roof or finished fenders. Doors and fenders are installed at the closure lane, along with the trunk and hood. One worker inspects the fit between door and fender. Gooey sealer is sprayed into the welded seams to seal out wind and rain. Then comes a sprayed prime coat and automatic spraying of the enamel finish coat, followed by baking in an oven.
Some cars go straight from painting to final assembly, but others are held for a while.
When the car is needed, the system finds it automatically and a crane extracts it from the towering structure. From here on, it's a matter of assembling all the components onto the painted car. After installing taillights, the doors are removed. They'll be reinstalled later, after window glass, hardware and trim have been mounted. Headliner and carpeting come next, followed by the instrument panel, windshield and back window.
