Funny you should ask! I'm actually a Tool & Die maker here in Oshawa, and have not seen the dies yet, as they are due to arrive soon (probably still in Japan ).
I was amazed at how smooth , and wrinkle free the panels were after being drawn so deep.The panels I have seen after paint are almost perfect, and these were painted black. It still blows my mind at what can be done to a piece of sheet metal !!
I can't get over the quality jump we've made over just 5 years ago!!
The master jigs alone would blow your mind !! Picture a full-sized billet aluminum 2010 Camaro!! I have never seen anything like it!! I hope GM releases pictures of it, because the enthusiasts would freak over it.
It will be cool building these cars , after years of assembling "bread & butter" cars !!!
