The original Chevy Corvette was created in this manner.
Since the shell would be completely compound surfaces,it would require very little internal bracing.None at all in some places.

That sounds like a good method for making multiple copies, but if interested in a "One-Off" could one use fan-fold insulation over the plywood forms and then cover it all in fiberglass cloth and epoxy resin?
The plywood (
serial model) bucks would have to be trimmed down all around for the thickness of the composite assembly.
Looks like a lot of work went into this project.
Thank you for sharing.
