How much would you pay to learn how to make identical copys of your own body panels in aluminum like this AC Cobra replica??

But seriously - would you believe it if I told you that body is built by students taking 2 classes at a total of 8 days (one 3 day class and one 5 day), where the project is passed on from one class to the next - and the whole thing is built in 9 weeks with complete amateurs?

Impresses me!

I'd like to build one outta stainless steel so I can attach my flux copacitor to it once I get up to 88 miles per hour, I can go back in time.

I have an aluminum hood that I bought for my Formula or a drag car whatever i choose to use it on. it has a couple of dents in it from what appears to be someone closing the hood on something etc. well to make a long story short I asked a guy who is currently doing an Alfa-Romeo resto and its all aluminum, I had him look at the hood, he said just to get the dents out would be about $300 - $400

that should give you an idea...

I found out the local store is selling cases of pepsi on the cheap....

Maybe I could melt the cans down, and build a car
