Haha Micro, that we do. I love it all, but I grew up in a body shop and sell parts to them now, so banging panels is still fun, maybe cuz I don't do it everyday. There is a bit of art, some patience, but its just about having a goal and wanting to prove something to yourself that you can do more to make it more realistic, or scale as is popular to say.
I am actually surprised more guys and galls don't mess with alum panels, honestly. I was super excited to try it as soon as I saw it was viable. In a hobby like this where realism is a goal to many, maybe not to all, whats more real? I would argue it takes mechanical skill to watch the alum fold over corners and not rip it when pressing into recesses, so if you are mainly mechanically inclined, maybe try only a truggy cab, with reinforcements glued in, or a cage, citing to yourself its for weight and mechanical advantage, as the light body could honestly be weighed down a bit to be more realistic in how trucks move."thumbsup"
