I think aluminum sheeting is an often over looked medium to work with. It is strong, can be corrosion resistant, easy to cut and bent, and most importantly light. If it’s good enough for airplanes, it’s good enough for hyper milling vehicles. Compound curves are difficult without the tools and most importantly the experience to use them, but this is often easy to design around. You can probably build it completely out of sheeting if you do it right, with bulkheads.

Any way I’m biased so this might not be a very objective comment.
