That's an excellent question. For reference, the original 1960's series of cars were 0.050" thick. And the Kirkham/Shelby alloy bodies are 0.059" thick.

Please excuse me, I'm quoting myself, but a question was posed earlier, which never was answered.

What gauge aluminum does Alloycars use?

The Kirkham comes with a 28 gallon stanless steel fuel tank, the Alloycars Cobra comes with "fuel tank."

What type of dash gauges do you get with Alloycars?

The Kirkham provides you with their very reliable Speedhut gauges. Alloycars states that you get "gauges, full set."

Gages should be the same as FFR supplies which are also Speedhut. My FFR came with a Fuel Safe, but I don't know what they supply these days.
