Mark, you are something else. We share very similar ideas on saving weight. How thick was the aluminum used on the body panels? I seriously thought about doing this because I have some rusted panels on the car and figure aluminum will be the solution. Patching the panels and adding steel/body filler will add weight, which I do not want.

Keep up the awesome work.
