To me, the aluminum body is piece of art. Fiberglass can look great but if you look at the time, effort and soul that goes into an aluminum car...it's like a sculpture. If you haven't already, go check out chuckcobra's
site where outlines the scratch build of his Daytona (and he hand built a 289). After reading his blog, I came to have even more appreciation of the aluminum bodies. Heck, if I had the time, skill and/or talent to do what Chuck did....I would go that route!
