1935 Miller-Ford Indy 500 Race Car

I'm not sure about this, but here's the deal. I ran out of the .040 white aluminum that I made most of the body out of, and I still needed a hood. There actually was enough to start with, but due to a slight miscalculation, the hood I cut out had to be scrapped (measure twice, cut once, dummy).
So I was left with a choice - buy another 4 x 8 sheet from the local supplier, or just get a 3" x 3" sheet from Home Depot.
I almost didn't buy the Home Depot aluminum because it's thin, .019 to be exact. Then I decided to give it a shot.
What I didn't realize in the store was not only is it thin, it's REALLY soft. I think a good pair of scissors would cut it.
But I persevered. I went ahead and made the hood. Once it's bent, it becomes pretty stiff because of the curve. I had to put aluminum angle "stiffeners" in the sides to keep them straight and flat, and have a place to attach the latches. Otherwise I think it'll be OK. The slightest bump will dent it, however.
The positive about it is, it weighs mere ounces. Go fast and all that.
So while I was waiting for the glue to dry on the second side of the hood, I decided to do something fun.
I put the instrument panel in, put the steering column and wheel on, and took some pics.

Now is that cool looking or what?
