Rolls Royce-Phantom

 
Today, let's see how the British and German build the most extravagant car in the world.



Rolls Royce was built in two countries.

Build the chassis

Weld the aluminium.The challenge of welding aluminium  is. If you move too fast, the weld could fail when it cooled. If you move too slow, you would risk to burn the metal and destroy the part.

Install the roof.

In order to prevent the weld heat distorting the aluminium. Two metal workers will weld both sides of the roof from the begin and the end simultaneously without stopping.

Unfortunately, the long weld leaved the long ugly seam.

Don't worry about it. The craftsman gets finished it. Ho would file and sand it, until it's smooth as glass.

Dingolfing Germany - Paint

To prevent to rust and corrosion, it's the multi-step processescalled "Electrocoating", or 
 "E Coating".  Electrophoretic Deposition see wikipedia :
The car body is DC electrical charges, and plunged into a vat containing oppositely-charged
primer paint. Like the metal to a magnet, paint solids in the bath adhere to the metal body.

360 degees to guarantee the inside and outside of frame would submerge.
The process is Nickel --> Manganese --> Zinc --> E-Coating.
Note that "E-Coating" is only for preventing corrosion. Paint the car in Goodwood British.

Move the car body into the oven, and then transport to U.K to make a true Rolls Royce.

Goodwood in British. Rolls Royce assembly factory.

The inspector scrutinized any flaws and marked the it. Polish it again.

Build the champagne refrigerator in the trunk.

Rolls-Royce can custom any thing that the client want. "One of a Kind"
Think about the education. Conformity V.S  Individual.There are so many standard operation procedures in every aspect of the modern society.You want the education to be like the "TOYOTA mass production cheap car" or like the "Rolls-Royce high end luxury car".

Install the high density foam insulation block prevent low frequent noise.Such as rumble of tire on the rough pavement.

Apply strips of thin sound proofing material made with foil-cover bitumen. A dense tar-like substance. Prevent the high frequent noise. Such as squeaks, rattle, and wind noise. Those devices out of sight and out of mind, but made the quiet environment.

Install softtop. Convertible Version.

Install Instrument Panel. One piece cradle of cast magnesium. It's one of the most complex costings ever used in a car. Historically, the automotive manufacturing, this is where you get squeaks and rattles, because there are so many small components going together. It has been eliminated here in Rolls-Royce.

Look at the "Symmetry Dashboard". The wood came from all over the world, variable species. Including Rosewood, Walnut, Ash, Elm. With the "Bespoke Program" , the options are limitless.

Use the "Bookmatching" technique. Because it's like you open the book.
