nope, the whole deck lid is scratch built inside & out. He used .050 3003 H14 for the inner structure. Mad skills.

you can make one or two time forms bucks out of marglass and form alum over it by making a mold off a old part . i was going to do a gto hood beat the inner and then beat the hood blister and roll the outer skin .3003 is good for beating on or hand bending /forming.rolling. for mill or lathe work not so hot 6061T6 is ok and still can tig 7075t6 is better to machine . but you knew that . i still may do it but i can never get the time and the money timing right . i was going with the Tin Indian theme with the GTO as i have the 632 donovan and the 735 was going to start with the front inners and work out to the hood and front bumper
