| The the tooling, documentation, fixtures and jigs necessary to build the Talbo Automobile are listed below: 1. Composite Body: Main Body Four Piece Mold with multiple inserts. This produces the fiberglass one piece body. Door Molds left and right with inner door molds and glass run molds and fixtures. Fender Skirt Molds Hood Molds Floorpan Mold with multiple inserts. This produces the large structure that forms the floor and the envelope for the body to chassis mounting. Miscellaneous molds: rear window frame, Under-hood fairings, Gas door, Battery box, Speaker enclosures, Kick Panels, etc. Patterns for core mat used in some locations in the layup for sound deadening, insulation, and strength. Templates and fixtures for trimming, drilling and positioning various components. Layup schedules defining the fiberglass laminate layer-by-layer for each part. 2. Build fixture. This fixture positions the Body, Floor Pan and mounting rails for bonding into one unit. This fixture is then used to fit the doors, hoods, fender skirts and small components. The body is painted while on this fixture, 3. Chassis. The Chassis was modeled in AutoCAD originally and now is CAD modeled in Pro Engineer in dynamic Three Dimensional format. CAD files of drawings of all chassis parts which are sent out to be laser cut using DXF format at a job shop. Fixtures which constrain the laser cut 11 gage steel parts for TIG welding. Sub-Assemblies: approximately 15 fixtures. One large Main full Chassis fixture. Fixture for painting and assembling chassis. This fixture positions the chassis for painting and will allow rotation of the chassis. 4. Stainless Steel Trim: CAD files of drawings for all Stainless parts which are sent to be laser cut out using DXF format at a job shop. Fixtures which constrain the laser cut parts for forming and TIG welding. Approximately 12 fixtures. 5. Electrical Wiring diagrams: These are in CAD format and pdf. Wire lists and job sequence work sheets. Work sheets for modifying existing Lincoln wiring harnesses that are used. 6. CAD models: The Intake Air Feed Manifold, Engine Trim, and Front uprights are machined from 6061 T6 Aluminum by vendors using these data. 7. Documentation: Fiberglass Composite body layup schedule sheets for all components in Microsoft Word format. Worksheets in Word format and Photographs detailing Chassis fabrication and Stainless Steel trim fabrication. Parts List in Excel spread sheet format listing all purchased parts, sources etc. This can be sorted by location used, Vendor, Name, etc. Worksheets in Word format for assembly detail operations. Patterns for Carpet cutting, for Jute and sound deadener. Owners Manual in Microsoft Word format. 8. Miscellaneous: Star Tester; used to program, monitor or troubleshoot Lincoln engine used in Talbo.
