So, you painted your Cobra, which traces its origins to sand, the color beige? How ironic is that?

Well, at least "Al" is an element on the periodic table. Is fiberglass or sand? Nope, you'll need compounds.

Are you aware of the numerous studies that link exposure to aluminum with greater cognitive decline with time and that also indicate that those exposed individuals are at a significantly increased risk of dementia? Yup, not making that up....

Equally I'm aware of the study that suggests dihydrogen oxide is deadly.
100% correlation of death for those who have consumed it.
I still drink it frequently, I suspect you do too.

Perhaps it has more to do with the AL beer cans the subjects were drinking out of?

I would think your risk of exposure to aluminum is greater than mine. I don't drink from aluminum cans nor do I eat processed foods. And I don't spend a lot of time licking and smelling my polished alloy Kirkham.

I'd be more worried about respiratory problems from those fibers from that friable fiberglass body. Those oxygen tanks that you use for welding can also do double duty for any future respiratory issues from breathing those fiberglass fibers over the years.
