I know that fiberglass seems to be the ideal material for building a custom, one-off body. The problem is that;
1) Any time I work with fluids I make a huge mess and am rarely happy with the results.
2) I have been sensitized to chemicals in the past and don't want to repeat that experience.
3) The resulting aluminum body should be lighter than a fiberglass version would be.
4) Working with aluminum sheet metal looks like a ton of fun and a natural extension of my current skill set. I also think that once I am tooled up and have some experience with aluminum sheet metal that I will be faster working with it than with fiberglass.
