parts for assemblies to exacting tolerances
|
Integrated solidbody construction - module parts are welded together to maximize strength and safety, no tape or adhesives used in solidbody construction
|
|
|
|

|
Custom interior wood or aluminum cabinets are designed and assembled for every customer order.
|
All wiring is labeled with guage, circuit number and function description every 4" to match the AS-built detailed electrical schematics(example:F-18-04-LeftGrille-VT); all harnesses are sonic welded.
|
Our quality assurance team performs a road test and an 800 item check-off list to ensure the vehicle is completed to the customers specifications.
