Default Aluminum is cool.....

and i want one!!

BUT, I understand that when Carroll started out with these things, they were all aluminum....and he wanted fiberglass. There was a time when aluminum was OK, but fiberglass (like the Corvettes) was the exotic sought-after material. Anyway, I'll take real metal any day.

Maybe a consortium of Cobra car makers could have a joint venture to drive up enough volume to jusify aluminum production. Wishful thinking I know.

BTW.....anybody know what does Panoz does for their aluminum production?? Their bodies are excellent.
