C7 body panels
Are all C7 body panels actually made at the Bowling Green assembly plant, or are they out-sourced? How are the panels actually made? I know they are not traditional fiber glass, but are they made with molds, "similar" to fiber glass construction? I took a tour of the BG plant a few years ago, and we never saw where the body panels were actually made.

I have a feeling they are brought into the plant and then painted - in other words, made somewhere else.
And here is a thread that discusses the panel's composition. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...de-out-of.html
