I don't think car manufactures would be using aluminum body panels if they where flimsy, dented easily and weren't repairable. Are these 69 Camaro body panels made of a thinner gauge of aluminum then what new cars are being made of ? Do you guy's think you should be comparing 35 or 40 year flimsy acid dipped body panels to these? Do those new panel look flimsy? I'd like to know a little more about them. All aluminum nose sounds pretty cool though.

most collision shops wont repair alum. panel's on the newer cars anything more than about a fist sized dent gets a new panel. As frank said filler does not like aluminum.
