It is unknown for which models body parts were produced on this equipment. Before shipment to the buyer, damage will be intentionally inflicted on the working surfaces of the punches and dies so that the equipment cannot be reused for its intended purpose.

Stamping equipment is one of the most capital-intensive aspects in the production of cars. For example, a new set of industrial stamps for the production of face panels (for example, front fenders) can cost from $1 million and up.
