Hate to see the rear brakes are not getting air vents...I was hoping the rear lines would be functional. Good to see these pics

I used to work in an auto assembly plant. That person HAS to know they can get in SERIOUS trouble for taking those pics and posting them.

Or, just maybe this is a GM leak on purpose... think about it, access to the factory during off hours when not a single soul is around. There's gotta be access logs and/or surveilance cameras all over.

Those are just cobbled up shells to get the line equipment set up. The quarter window area is not cut out and neither are the headlight or taillight buckets. They are still a ways off from producing cars.

Negative.

Every employee is issued a badge that you have to use when you scan through the gate. Many of the gates are unmanned.

You can walk in anytime you want day or night. Yeah the system keeps a log of swipes,but they have no idea why your there and dont really care.

Cameras- No your not gonna see a ton of surveillance cameras all over a UAW assembly plant. There are regulations on that per the contract.

Id bet everything I have against the notion GM intentionally released these pics. That just wont happen I can promise you.

You can see in the pics that the quarter windows are cut, and the headlights/taillight areas are trimmed out. That unit has not reached the final line of the body shop. There are still a lot of missing pieces.

I do wish the rear quarter windows were a bit bigger those are gonna create some big blind spots. But whatever I'm just glad its being made at all!
