Abstract:
A method of making car bodywork, the method including a step of assembling body sides (4a, 4b) to an underbody (1), the underbody (1) including a rigid engine compartment (2) at one end and being placed in an assembly station in a precise position determined in an orthogonal frame of reference having directions X, Y, and Z, the method consisting: in putting the body sides (4a, 4b) into position and holding them in position in the frame of reference of the station by means of two parallel tools (13, 14) each co-operating with a respective body side (4a, 4b), and at least one transverse tool (11) extending transversely to said parallel tools, the three tools being connected to one another and to the X, Y, Z frame of reference of the station in such a manner that the transverse tool (11) is placed and held in a position that is precise and locked in the frame of reference and that it forms a spacer and bracing tool in the Y direction for the two parallel tools (13, 14) in a zone that is remote from the engine compartment (2) of the underbody (1); and in maintaining a force (F) pressing each of the parallel tools (13, 14) at least against the sides of the engine compartment (2) of the underbody (1) while the body sides are being assembled to the underbody.
