Gentleman, I have had the "honor" (clears throat) of restoring 2 factory lightweight Z11 1963 Impalas in my day with aluminum fenders. And of coarse the fenders were banged up and had to be bondo repaired to make them nice and straight. Filler jumps off aluminum just looking at it with a mean glance. We shipped both cars to Barrett Jackson and by the time they got there the fenders were cracked on both cars. I would not want aluminum p[anels on any car that needed to look straight and be driven. And as Steve brought up, who would want something so sensitive, when we all build our cars to beat the crap out of them. Now, Carbon fiber? We talking about loosing weight and getting at least as strong.
