Since you ask, and you are so obsessed with my posts about Cobra bodies, to the point of overlooking your own beautiful work vs this picture of the trunk showing all the way back to the body




Now look closely at the picture, as you can see all the way to the inner quarter panel itself, what appears to be missing from that shot?

The rear cross bracing for the body is missing if it was an aluminum body, and there was almost no trim in place, would you not see the cross bracing for the body to be supported on? Your birdcage has them, but could not find a decent picture of yours to show you, so I borrowed one from Karl to show the diagonal cross bracing.

What frame work do you expect to see from the angel this picture was taken from then?
Aluminum body's wrap around the tubing (sub structure, bird cage etc) so when finished, not to be seen from the outside!

Once again the OP has claimed to have seen the car in person, (you have not)and verified the body is aluminum, he also verified how the body was attached to the body support tubing,
then you come along and basically tell him he doesn't know what he is talking about, Really?
