My son took me on a tour of the Mercedes Benz factory in Sindelfingen a bit back. We saw the C class production line as well as various other bits. The bodyshells start off from a huge roll of sheet metal that then passes through various presses, welding, glueing and spraying processes and comes out the other end as a fully formed bodyshell without any human intervention. Robots do the lot. It's very impressive.
