That being said, I spent a lot of time around Dick Smith's car, and damn if he didn't try to hurt it on occasion...seemed pretty tough for arruminum.

But aren't the Kirkham/Shelby panels formed using a different process (I'm betting the Polish factory didn't hand roll the Russian fighter jets)? That would make the hand rolled panels softer, although they would get a lot of "work hardening". There is an awesome video of David Kirkham repairing a smashed fender.
