quite a discussion in another thread on the use of Al in vehicles.

This video shows a modern car constructed from aluminum and ash wood plus leather for the seats. Some may find it interesting?

The video is on building an aluminum - wood morgan car. Factory is in England and has been in operation since 1909 ??

It shows laminating, gluing, riveting, forming and all that stuff that goes into hand building a car.

The Lotus bodies were hammered out over wooden bucks. They are very impressive in person. While many are painted some are left naked for max. weight savings.
