Cobra Jet bodies going into the AAI "dunk tank" for etching to prep for paint.

Cobra Jet body ready for primer stage. Door jams, roll cage and select areas are shot with a manual gun. Rest of car is shot with a robotic gun.


Cobra Jet body in final top coat and clear coat area of paint line before going into the oven for a final bake. 40 cars run through each paint line per hour. The robots are pretty impressive, they even lift and close the hood.
Great shots...maybe ask your 'friends' to snap a couple of close up photos of that paperwork hanging off the car...it might be valuable information when any discussions are started about what it says on it in the future.
