Abstract
A panel for an automotive vehicle and the method of making same. A main reinforcing member is bonded to an outer panel, the reinforcing member being made of a hardened thermosetting material. An auxiliary reinforcing member is attached to and covers the entire inner side of the main reinforcing member. A core element of foamed resin is encapsulated between the outer panel and the main reinforcing member and causes the latter to bulge in the inward direction to form a rib-like projection to strengthen the panel.
