ABSTRACT:
An assembly apparatus for assembling multiple panels at a single assembly site into an adhesively fixed, spaced relationship without direct contact therebetween mounts the panels with respect to a single base for movement into an assembled position. The apparatus has a base for receiving an underbody thereon, the base having a forward end, a rear end, and underbody alignment and retention means. A pedestal proximate the rear end of the base has a roof support member cantileverly mounted from a forward wall thereof in generally planar alignment with the base for receiving a roof inner panel on an upper surface thereof. A rotatable roof holder is axially mounted on an upper edge of the pedestal for receiving a roof outer panel thereon and for rotating the roof panel onto the roof inner panel. A pair of side supports are rotatably mounted on a pair of referencing rails on opposing side edges of the base for swingably positioning a pair of body side panels in juxtaposition with the underbody, the roof outer panel, and the roof inner panel. A slidable tray is mounted on the pair of referencing rails at the forward end of the base for holding a body front end portion to slidingly engage the body front end with the underbody and the pair of body side panels.
