6061?
Brent, I see you used 6061 for the side spoilers. May I recommend 5052 (or 2024, but it suffers from SCC) instead of 6061 for forming, particularly where sharp corners are required. 6061 has a tendency to crack when folded 90 degrees, where 5052 is specifically used for folded sheetmetal. I do see you folded the flange (to go against the body) and I assume you managed to keep it from cracking, so maybe not an issue for you. I always use 5052 when fabbing folding brackets, etc...
Nice work by the way. It will be a great car.
