Body building?

Came across an short article about production of automotive body panels from (carbon) composites.

There's a short paragraph on the history, where the F1 takes example stage as it was the first carbon super car. It has this interesting image showing an F1 model, where I guess they are trying to put a framework up in which they can establish the body panels.

It's an interesting read, with details about the F1 carbon fibre body, but also about the production process.
