I plan on using Coroplast for the body panels on my reverse trike project, if I ever get to it.

It's much lighter/cheaper/easier to work with than aluminum sheet or body metal, and I can probably get most of it recycled, as opposed to body/aluminum sheet.

The only place I'll use actual metal is if I need the rigidity, like the nose cone, trunk boxes, etc.
