body frame
Body panelling and floors are made up using exterior grade ply. The side panels are laminated from 3 layers of 10mm if doors are required, or 2 layers with deeper arm recesses and no doors.  body panels
The doors and lightening voids are then cut out and all wood treated with clear preservative.
All drawings and construction information is included in the
BODY FRAME DRAWING INFORMATION.

The body is then clad in 1.2mm aluminium sheet. This is not as difficult as it sounds. Only basic DIY tools are needed although a powered knibbler will make cutting the aluminium sheet to shape very easy.  aluminium clad
If you are carefull with the aluminium sheet the body can be simply polished or, etch primed and painted.
