This was RCR's original fabrication room. It was here that the bodies for the cars were created from flat pieces of sheet metal and hung on the chassis. When the fab shop moved into its own building in early 1994, this room became the area where the race cars were fitted up with the electrical wiring and plumbing, as well as where the crush panels were installed and other "finish" work was taken care of.
Despite NASCAR's strict template tolerances, all of the work in the fabrication shop was, and still is, done by hand. The major tools used in the process of constructing the bodies are welders, hammers, sheet metal cutters and the English Wheel, a piece of equipment used for shaping metal whose basic technology is hundreds of years old.
