I'm using a Shell Valley body on my new aluminum chassis. My chassis uses aluminum shear panels for the foot boxes and bulkheads, ect. So, the body doesn't have a bonded tub with floors and such. The hood, trunk, and doors are double skinned with steel imbedded in critical areas for hinge mounts. This body weighs 172lbs, I have weighed it. I looked around and found that all of the companies bodies vary in shape some what. I really like the Shell Valley body which in now based on their Mid States molds. I like the shape of it as well, especially the trunk, which doesn't have the "perky" butt look.
Have fun! John
