I cheated and made from them from fibreglass... My bonnet took 3 attempts to get to fit even remotely.
The photos make the car look better then it is!
The nose, front and rear guards are all glass, while the bonnet, sides, interior panels and rear are all AL.
The exhaust cover is steel, cheated again laser cut and rolled by a shop. Welded in some internal flanges to stiffen.
The floor steel which has folded in rails for stiffness. Beam and torsional was just a touch under 5000Nm/deg.
Final weight was 640kg, running a BMW M44 with ~130hp to a 5 speed.
Cheers,
Taffy
