They didn't want anyone near it claiming that just leaning on it could dent it. Now I suppose that is true of any aluminum car, even my GT, but do you think the hand rolled 1000 aluminum is any softer than the panels in a CSX4000 or Kirkham?

I had some up close and personal time with more than a few originals and they never seemed concerned about "touching".
What is the Kirkham process.? Are some panels hand formed?

Any pics of the Kirkham process?
