Re: Process for making complex shapes in cars?
They use a process called hydroforming. It uses water pressure to force the aluminum panels into a mold. They use the same process to build the frames for the corvette as well as many other applications. The panel right behind the door is carbon fiber, which can be made into just about any shape you want.

Read about some of it here:
