How do they keep the salt from turning the aluminum to powder? Ive never been happy with Al when I see it on a car. Keith > Not true. The body panels are almost all aluminum stampings. There are a few carbon panels where stamping was not feasible or practical. Carbon is used over fiberglass for stiffness and weight. They are not unstressed, but are also not a monocoque structure like a Formula one car. ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
