It was an assembly of another kind this afternoon as Dick Johnson Racing launched James Moffat's #18 Falcon livery at a public demonstration in Parramatta.
Sampling the style used by the McLaren F1 when launching their 2011 car, DJR unveiled its livery by attaching the exterior panels to the car piece by piece, slowly revealing new title sponsor Norton.
Norton have been a personal sponsor of Moffat's since 2010, but have stepped up to major sponsor for 2012, replacing previous title sponsor Jim Beam.
Team boss Dick Johnson was on hand at the public event on the steps of Parramatta Town Hall, along with Moffat's father, touring car legend Allan Moffat.
Demonstrating the 'built for purpose' nature of modern V8 Supercars, the assembly of #18 was completed in 7 mins, 45 seconds, and utilising both DJR team members and three lucky prize winners.
Channel 7 personality Grant Denyer and Nova FM host Meshel Laurie played MCs for the unveiling, awarding prizes among the 1000-strong crowd with a chocolate wheel.
Dick Johnson even delivered one of his trademark one-liners tone of the prize winners, offering his best advice to a hot lap winner: "Let me tell you, you won't be in that crap shirt!" The winner was wearing a Team Vodaphone polo shirt at the time.
