Could someone help in clarifying the strength of the aluminum bodies?

I have heard many times about how weak and vulnerable the aluminum bodies are to dents and the such. I have , however, seen a lot of archive pictures of the original cobras and many times the vehicles have a lot of the racers lean, stand and often seat on their cars' bodies. If they were so flimsy wouln't they avoid doing that to begin with. I have no personal experience in this matter and would like to have one of you guys with original ones or continuation or new series Shelbys to clarify this matter. Are they really that weak of bodies or is it just a prception and rumors started by people that have very little or no knowledge of the facts.

Please help clarify this matter.
