Wow. Never thought anyone might ever do that! I'll pay close attention to the hood when I go back. I can only say that the hood gave no reason to make me believe there was fiberglass sandwiched in there between aluminum but I'll double check. The double line is odd and I just assumed the builder used some sort of epoxy. It was ALOT lighter than the fiberglass hood of my CSX4000. Same for the aluminum doors. The rest of the body attaching spots were proof enough that the body is aluminum, riveted to the steel chassis.
